Dear Lincoln School Community,
This afternoon at Lincoln School, our 5th graders entertained a packed house of students, families, and friends in their annual "5th Grade Talent Show!” Kudos to our students for sharing their amazing talents with the audience, and for having the courage to perform in front of hundreds. The show featured everything from musical acts to displays of athleticism, and everything in between. A HUGE thank you to our staff advisors, Mrs. Giordano and Ms. Vincent, as well as our parent volunteers and other staff members, who worked so hard to put on the production and guide our students along the way. Great job to all who participated and assisted in the production!
It was an exciting week here at Lincoln School as we celebrated a love of reading with “Read Across America Week!” Students showed their schoolwide reading spirit by dressing in book-themed attire all week in honor of a variety of favorite book characters. Thank you to Mrs. Husstege for coordinating Read Across America Week, and for celebrating in Media classes throughout the week.
In addition to "Read Across America Week," Lincoln School is going to extend our love of literacy throughout the month of March! We have exciting events planned, including interactive activities, whole-school book reads, book giveaways, and more. This year, we are continuing the “One School, One Book” initiative and have chosen one book for students in grades 3-5 to read and another set of two books for students in grades K-2 to read. Thank you to our PTO for their support through the purchase of these books for our school community! We invite families to read along each night, or listen to chapters read aloud by Lincoln School staff members. Please click here to access the audio chapters of The Lincoln Project and here for the audio chapters of The Secret Explorers. The calendar of events, including suggested chapter readings for the books, may be found here.
We also have a creative new “Lincoln Loves Reading Challenge” for the month of March. Students and staff will try to collectively read the height of all the Lincoln School ‘grownups,’ earning progress towards the goal for each book read. If we can conquer this challenge, I have agreed (with some creative student input) to work towards a fun schoolwide reward. (Students will share their ideas in Media.) Please click here to view the Lincoln Loves Reading Challenge 2025 form, and input books read for the challenge. For any students who would also like to independently input their reading to our Lincoln challenge, Mrs. Flanagan has shared the link with students in grades 2-5 in their technology Google Classroom. Can’t wait to see which reward we choose, and if they can meet our schoolwide goal!
We are excited to announce that our students will be participating in SEL (Social Emotional Learning) activities on March 12th. Students will attend workshops during one class period of the day. Each workshop is carefully designed for our students by Lincoln staff members to promote self awareness, focus, and self confidence. We look forward to providing students with this valuable opportunity to learn skills that promote well- being.
Have a great weekend and don’t forget to “spring ahead” by moving your clocks forward on Sunday!
Sincerely,
Patrick Lee
Principal
