Lincoln Elementary School: Celebrations

Family Fun Nights were held for students and families. The first event was titled Spotlight on Readers, and the second event was a successful Poetry Festival featuring grades K-6. Lincoln students are excellent community service helpers. They raised money for Toys for Tots, and the 6th graders went to Shopko to purchase the toys for the children in need. They also did a Read-Thon and Walk-a-Thon to help raise money for PTA which, in turn, will help students for the next year. Book Buddies are a hit at Lincoln, with the 4th graders reading on a weekly basis to the K-1st graders. Lincoln also has a community connection with the Downtown Kiwanis and have started a K-Kids Club in which students are actively involved. The first year with the BLEND program, sponsored through CentraCare, was completed. Students were fortunate to be provided with a curriculum which focused on healthy eating and physical activity. The teachers and students were very appreciative of this opportunity.
