Note From Mr. Sonju...

Greetings Lincoln Community-

Every day I feel so very fortunate to work in an amazing school full of incredible students, staff and a caring community.

It always amazes me just how much the Lincoln community does for one another and it is so greatly appreciated and valued.

The Lincoln spirit is always in action with seeking ways to make a difference for the world around us.

 

I wanted to share that we have a Lincoln family that is going through some very challenging times with a health situation for one of our students

Some have inquired as they are interested in helping and the family has given permission to share so here is a website to share if you are interested.

The website has a variety of “ways to help” in the support links.

Introducing... the Box Top Challenge!

Last year, Lincoln received about $600 from Box Tops for Education for submitting clipped Box Tops, which can be found on many grocery items. This is equivalent to about 2 Box Tops per Lincoln student per month.

Starting today, we are launching a school-wide Box Top Challenge in order to increase participation to 10 Box Tops per student per month for the remainder of the 2016-2017 school year. By meeting this goal, we could raise as much as $3,000 for Lincoln! As part of this challenge, there will be three individual prizes awarded each month, and the classroom that turns in the most Box Tops by May 15 will win a party!
