Every child. Every day.

Staff Appreciation Week

This week we will celebrate our entire Lincoln Team. We celebrate our staff members for choosing to make a difference in the lives of our students. An extra smile, words of encouragement, or an extra moment of patience. Let's not forget all of the time that goes into planning all of the activities and lessons that students need to ensure that they are learning and growing all year long. These are the things that mean the world to our students. Our Lincoln Staff cares, and we are honored to serve our students and families each and every day. Thank you for trusting in us!

Perseverance

Dear Families,

This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Perseverance. Perseverance means you complete what you start despite obstacles. You never give up.

The concept of perseverance can most often be found in one’s active pursuit of overcoming obstacles. Perseverance is a uniquely human characteristic that identifies an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance can handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.

Those who persevere through setbacks often reap the benefits of the success gained by refusing to give up. Sometimes, this comes with the added benefit of increased knowledge and skill as a result of the work needed to achieve. A single group member’s ability or willingness to persevere can substantially impact those working with them and the team. Groups that show high levels of perseverance can achieve goals they may not have believed possible.
