Dear School #6 Families,

A huge thank-you to all our wonderful families for coming out to cheer on our students during our Halloween Parade and Color Run! Your enthusiasm, smiles, and support made both events truly special for our Lincoln Leaders.

We are especially grateful for your collaboration in helping make the Color Run a huge success. Together, we were able to fundraise nearly one-third of the cost for our end-of-year festivities! We couldn’t have done it without you, and we look forward to more exciting fundraising opportunities in the months ahead.

As a reminder, there will be no school on Thursday, November 6th or Friday, November 7th.

Thank you again for your continued partnership and commitment to our school community!

Have a great weekend!

Dr. Elaine Mendez

Principal

Our Lincoln Leaders had a spooktacular time during our annual Halloween Parade! 🎃 Students proudly showcased their creative costumes as families and staff cheered them on, making it a fun and festive celebration for all.

Our Lincoln Leaders had an amazing time at our Color Run fundraiser! 🌈 Students, staff, and families came together for a day full of energy, laughter, and bright bursts of color celebrating school spirit and community fun.

Hello Everyone!

It's hard to believe it is November already! Our students have been taking part in groups that teach them to believe in themselves. We talked about positive thinking, and they each came up with a quote to put up on our "BE-LEAF in YOURSELF" tree. It is important to provide a supportive environment where our students can express their thoughts and feelings.

Remember....Always believe in yourself and you will succeed!

💜💛Thank You, Abraham Lincoln School #6 Community! 💜💛

We are so proud to share that our Color Run Fundraiser was a huge success — together we raised $2,500!

Your generosity and school spirit made this event one to remember. Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting student activities, field trips, school-wide celebrations and incentives, and scholarships for graduates of Abraham Lincoln School #6 at the high school level.

A special shout-out to our Top Fundraisers in each grade:

• Pre-K: Noah Galan

• Kindergarten: Nourseen Abusabe

  And congratulations to our Top Fundraiser in the entire school (for the second time!) 5th Grader— Breyanah Faye Barnes and family! 🎉

We also want to extend a huge thank you to our AMAZING Phys Ed Teacher, Mrs. Smith, for providing the music, energy, and fun announcements that kept everyone moving and smiling!

Thank you again to our students, families, and community for your incredible support — you truly make Lincoln shine! 🌟

Dear Families,

As the weather gets cooler, it’s also the start of flu season! To help keep our students and staff healthy, please remember the importance of preventing the flu through good hygiene, healthy habits, and vaccination.

💉 Flu Shot Reminder for Pre-K Students

Per the New Jersey Department of Health, all children aged 6 months through 59 months who attend Preschool or Pre-K programs are required to receive the influenza vaccine by December 31, 2025.

Students without proof of flu immunization may be excluded from school in January until documentation is provided.

Please submit updated immunization records to the school nurse as soon as possible after your child receives their flu shot.

🧼 Flu Prevention Tips for Everyone

Wash hands often with soap and water.

Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow.

Keep children home if they have a fever or flu-like symptoms.
