Dear Lincoln Families,
It’s hard to believe we have one more month until the end of another school year. As I walk the halls and peek into classrooms, I see how much our students have grown—not just in what they’ve learned, but in who they are. Their confidence, their curiosity, their kindness... it’s been such a joy to watch them shine. They’ve truly been glowing and growing, and I couldn’t be more proud of each and every Lincoln student.
To our families—thank you. Thank you for the notes of encouragement, the late-night homework help, the presence at concerts and conferences, and for being such vital partners in this journey.
A special shout-out to those of you who brought in pop tabs for our collection this year. It might seem like a small thing, but those tabs will go on to help others in meaningful ways—and that spirit of giving is something we’re so proud to instill in our students.
I wish you all a great May!
Principal Amy Bouma
