Let's start Monday morning with a BIG Brick welcome!
The Men of Lincoln will be back in the parking lot at 8:40 AM on Monday, November 9th, ready to greet our students as they arrive after a short weekend break!
We would LOVE to see even more dads join us! Whether you're a dad, grandpa, uncle, stepdad, or another important male role model in a child's life, we invite you to come out and be part of the fun!
A smiling face, a high-five, a fist bump, and a warm welcome can make a BIG difference in how a child starts their day. Let's show our students that their community is behind them and cheering them on!
DADS, WE NEED YOU! Come join the Men of Lincoln and help us make Monday morning extra special for our Bricksters!

Wear Red, White & Blue!
On November 11, students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue in honor of our veterans!
At Brick Elementary, we want our students to understand the meaning of service, sacrifice, courage, and gratitude. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a school community and show our appreciation to those who have given so much for our country.
Thank you for helping us make this a meaningful celebration! Let's fill our hallways with gratitude and create a Wall of Honor our veterans will be proud to see! ❤️🤍💙
Strong communication is the foundation of a successful school community. As principal, one of my goals is to ensure that our families feel informed, connected, and included in all that is happening at Brick Elementary. I want to make sure the information we share is meaningful, timely, accessible, and reaching you in ways that work best for your family.
Your feedback helps me better understand what is working well and where we can improve. By taking a few minutes to complete the communication survey, you are helping me identify ways to strengthen communication between home and school and better meet the needs of all our stakeholders.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already taken the time to complete the survey! Your input is valued, appreciated, and will help guide our efforts moving forward. If you haven't had a chance yet, I encourage you to share your voice. Together, we can continue building a strong, connected Brick community! ☀️

Mrs. Greene has been a valuable asset to Lincoln Consolidated Schools for many years, making a lasting impact on both students and staff. Throughout her career, Mrs. Greene has served as a dedicated second-grade teacher and, for the past several years, has supported Brick Elementary as a reading and math interventionist.
Mrs. Greene has a true passion for helping students grow and succeed. She is our resident "Data Queen," using student data to identify needs, guide instruction, and ensure that students receive the support they need to make meaningful academic progress. Her knowledge of curriculum, assessment, and effective interventions makes her an incredible resource for our staff and an invaluable support for our students.
Beyond her instructional contributions, Kristin has also served as Brick's M-STEP coordinator and has generously given her time to support numerous family and parent events throughout the years. She is always willing to step in, lend a hand, and do what is needed to support our school community.
Mrs. Greene's years of dedication, knowledge, and commitment to student achievement have made a difference in the lives of countless students. We are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of the Lincoln Consolidated Schools family and are grateful for all she continues to do for Brick Elementary!
A big congratulations to our Fifth Graders! They had the highest percentage of attendance for the month of October and are officially our Attendance Wars champions!
As their reward, our fifth graders will get to choose a Spirit Day of their choice! We can't wait to see what they pick!
Way to go, Fifth Grade! We are so proud of you!
Remember, Bricksters... ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
📚 High Attendance = High Academic Success!
Every day in school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Let's keep those attendance numbers climbing! ❤️
WE NEED YOU!!
At Brick Elementary, we truly believe that many hands make light work! The more people who get involved, the more we can accomplish for our students. ❤️
We would love to see more families participate in our PTO! You don't have to commit to everything—even a little of your time can make a BIG difference in our school community.
Please join us for our next virtual PTO meeting on November 10th at 7:30 p.m! We have several exciting events coming up and will need volunteers to help make them successful.
Your ideas, your time, and your involvement matter. Together, we can create amazing experiences for our Bricksters!

We hope to see you there!
💙 Help Stock the Brick Buck Cart!
Our October Brick Buck Cart was a fantastic success! Students loved shopping for prizes with the Brick Bucks they earned by demonstrating our school expectations:
Be Respectful • Be Responsible • Be Safe • Be Kind
It was wonderful to see our Bricksters excited to shop and celebrate their positive choices! However, we have run low on supplies and would appreciate help restocking the cart with new and exciting prize options for November.
Shop our Amazon Wish List:

The State of Michigan requires that all Michigan kindergarteners have a dental screening. Smiles on Wheels, on behalf of the Washtenaw County Health Department, will be providing the screenings on 12/02/2026.
The screening is just a quick look with a mirror, no other services are done. The screening is NO cost if done by the health department. Your child will be sent home with a copy of the screening results. If you do not want the dental screening performed at the school, you must opt out with a written note. Proof of dental screening must then be obtained from a dental office.
If your child has seen the dentist within the past 6 months, we can accept a letter from the dental office
stating that they were seen. You will need to provide a copy of the letter to us.
For more information about the dental screening requirement, please visit

The holiday season is right around the corner, and we are excited to bring our Holiday Shop to Brick Elementary!
Students will have the opportunity to shop for special holiday gifts for family members, friends, and loved ones on Tuesday, December 1, Wednesday, December 2, and Thursday, December 3. Each classroom will have an assigned shopping time so that every student has an opportunity to participate.
We will also be looking for volunteers to help our students navigate the shop, choose gifts, and make their holiday shopping experience extra special! A volunteer sign-up will be shared very soon.
We are looking forward to a fun and festive few days filled with holiday cheer and the excitement of giving! ❤️💚
