Dear Lincoln School Community,

Today, we came together in the Lincoln School gymnasium for our monthly Schoolwide Morning Meeting. We played a fun game of “photo memory,” celebrated the 5th grade Giving Back fundraiser for the “Better Friends Animal Society,” and learned about the Memorial Day holiday approaching. We also recognized recipients of our Core Values raffle, handing out Lincoln Lions to our winning students. It was a great way to start the day! 

This past week, our 5th grade celebrated the culmination of their elementary school careers with a wonderful class trip to Spring Lake Day Camp in Ringwood, NJ. They had an amazing time coming together as a class for a day of fun in the sun, enjoying activities such as zip lining, paddle boats, basketball, tennis, arts & crafts, rock climbing, swimming, gaga ball, and much, much more. I was even able to join in the fun, and may have zip lined a few times! Thank you to our 5th grade trip chairs, Mrs. Puzio and Mrs. Worth, for planning such a terrific experience, our PTO for their generous support of the trip, our staff for their supervision and participation in the day, and our 5th graders for being such awesome representatives of Lincoln School! 

Congratulations to our Fifth Grade students on their amazing production of the musical Aladdin, Jr.!  Our entire student body was treated yesterday to a matinee show at 2:00 pm, with family and friends joining us later for the evening performance. Special thanks goes out to our music teacher, Mrs. Panzitta, for her tremendous work in preparing our students for the show. Thank you also to Mrs. Joudeh and Mrs. Laub, our parent liaisons, our parent volunteers for assisting with costumes, and our 5th grade teachers and other staff that supported the production.

Next Friday, Lincoln School will hold its annual Theme Day! This is a full day of assemblies, activities, and interactive presentations, all centered around this year's theme, "Great Happens Here.” We can’t wait for this special and memorable day!

As the end of the school year is rapidly approaching, we are busy inventorying our Media Center. Mrs. Husstege and I ask that all library books are returned by Friday, May 31st. Please contact Mrs. Husstege with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation. 

Please note that our 4th and 5th grade spring Instrumental Band Concert will be held on Tuesday, June 4th at 2:00 pm for students and 7:00 pm for parents and guests.The performances will be held in the school gymnasium. Please click here to view the flyer. We hope to see you there!

First, a letter regarding required immunizations and health forms for rising Eisenhower Middle School 6th graders for the 2024-2025 school year. The second form is a waiver for the 6th grade trip to Fairview Lake YMCA Camp in the Fall.
