Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

Dear Lincoln School Community,

It was an exciting and festive week at Lincoln School as we finished out the calendar year and headed into the winter break. Today, we held our final monthly Schoolwide Morning Meeting of 2024 in the gym. It was wonderful to come together as a school community for one final time before the new year. The theme of our meeting was generosity, and students shared ideas for gifts that don’t cost anything but are meaningful - such as kind words, a card of encouragement or gratitude, and extra chores or assistance around the house. 

The holiday season is in full swing here at Lincoln School! This past week, students were invited to shop at the annual Holiday Mall, and to purchase gifts for family and loved ones. Thank you to our PTO volunteers, including our chairs Mrs. Bajwa and Mrs. Jensen, for organizing and facilitating a wonderful event. 

As 2024 winds to a close and we prepare for the excitement of the holidays, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to each member of the Lincoln community for your commitment and support throughout the year. On behalf of Lincoln School, I wish you a joyous and peaceful holiday, and hope that you have a chance to reflect on all the wonderful things in life as you gather with family and friends. To those celebrating, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and I look forward to all that 2025 has in store for the families of Lincoln School. 

As a reminder, all District schools are closed for the New Year’s Day holiday on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. Lincoln School will reopen on Thursday, January 2, 2025. 

Have a wonderful winter break! 

Sincerely,

Patrick Lee
Principal
