💙 Help us make Lincoln shine by modeling how important school is!

At Lincoln, we are building leaders through the Leader in Me program. This month, we are focusing on:

🤝 Habit 6: Synergize – Together is Better!

Synergy means working together, valuing each other’s strengths, and creating better solutions as a team than we could on our own.

🌱 Real Life at Lincoln – Synergy in Action

Our upcoming Campus Beautification Day is a perfect example of Habit 6! When students, families, and staff come together, we create a beautiful campus that reflects our pride and teamwork.

✨ Many hands make light work—and when we work together, amazing things happen!

💬 Try This at Home:

• Work together as a family to complete a task (cooking, cleaning, planning an outing)
• Encourage your child to listen to others’ ideas and share their own
• Talk about how each family member brings unique strengths

🏡 Family Challenge:

After working together as a team, ask:

• What went well?
• How did working together help?
• What made our team successful?

✨ At Lincoln, we believe: Together, we are better. Together, we are stronger. Together, we ROAR! 🦁💙
