Lincoln is holding a Mini Dance Marathon! (https://tinyurl.com/5cz5hc9w) From February 9–13, students can purchase $1 paper hearts in the morning outside the office. After purchasing a heart, students can write their name or a friend’s name on a heart and hang it on the wall near the office. All proceeds go to the Iowa Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. Can’t donate? No worries! All students are invited to celebrate this great cause by dancing at our Mini Dance Marathon on Thursday, February 12, during the school day.

Second Step - During the third quarter of the school year Team Lincoln will learn about empathy and kindness. When students have empathy and show kindness, they are able to understand and care about how others are feeling. Children learn to listen, include others, and respond with compassion through their words and actions. These skills help create a safe and supportive classroom, strengthen friendships, and teach students how to be respectful and caring members of their school community. Learn how you can support this at home!
