Lincoln Families,

As we head into a new week, we are pleased to acknowledge International Students’ Day, a day that highlights the important contributions of students across the globe. At Lincoln, our international and multilingual learners enrich our community in countless ways. Their voices, stories, and strengths remind us of the power of education to connect, uplift, and inspire. Let's continue to celebrate the diversity that lies within our Lincoln Community.

Events this week:

This week our 8th Grade Lions will participate in a presentation from NAMI.

They will discuss the importance of understanding what mental health is and that it is okay to talk about it.

Please see attached brochure for more information.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this Friday’s 6th Grade Student-Led Conferences. It was wonderful to see our students confidently sharing their learning, growth, and goals with you. Your partnership and presence make all the difference.

A special thank you to Beth DeBeech and our amazing PTSA for coordinating this great event and supporting our school community in such meaningful ways.

We are grateful for your continued support and engagement.

We’re excited to invite you to our Winter Orchestra Concert on Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 PM in the Lincoln Auditorium! Our talented student musicians have been working hard, and they can’t wait to share an evening of beautiful music with our community.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating their dedication and the joy of the season.

We’d like to take a moment to recognize our incredible Builders Club, led by Mrs. Howard, for their continued leadership and service in our community. Recently, our Builders Club students visited local schools to build connections, strengthen rapport, and spread kindness—living out the values we strive to foster here at Lincoln.

We are so proud of their initiative, teamwork, and commitment to making a positive impact beyond our campus.

Thank you, Mrs. Howard, and thank you to our amazing students for representing Lincoln with such heart.

As our fall sports season begins to wind down, we want to recognize the hard work, dedication, and teamwork shown by all of our student-athletes.

Our Girls Varsity Flag Football Team finished an impressive season, making it all the way to the semifinals. Our Girls Varsity Volleyball Team also had a strong run, advancing to the quarterfinals. And we’re excited to share that our Varsity Flag Football Team is moving on to the semifinals after a huge win on Friday!

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Moe, Girls Varsity Flag Football Coach, and Mrs. Allard, Girls Varsity Volleyball Coach, for leading our teams through such successful and spirited seasons.

We also want to celebrate our JV Girls Volleyball and JV Flag Football teams for another season filled with growth, teamwork, and determination. We’re proud of all they accomplished.

Thank you for supporting our athletes and helping make Lincoln’s sports community so strong.
