Time For Some Spring Cleaning
Welcome back to Lincoln at a Glance! We made it, everyone. We’ve pushed through the long winter days and have made it to spring. Nothing feels more like spring than a fresh sheet of snow on the ground. Luckily for all of you, this newsletter is the perfect chance for me to do a little spring cleaning of my inbox to start off the season right. Let me tell you, we have a TON of events coming up that you do not want to miss. (Hope you all enjoy the extra majestic header photo for this week’s newsletter, it’s extra spring themed.)

Trophy Case Fundraiser
What do you do with all of your state championship trophies? Well, right now they are sitting under the stairs instead of being PROUDLY displayed in our lobby! We’d love to have a trophy case for our front area. Our wonderful Mr. Proetel has offered to get it built, but we need to raise about $1500 in order to make it happen. Would you be willing to donate? If so, visit the link below. Any sum would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Class Registration 2024-25
Believe it or not, it’s that time of the year to think about class registration for 2024-25! On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, all of our junior high and 6th grade teachers will be in their rooms from 6:00 – 7:30 pm so that your students can come get a look at what different elective classes look like BEFORE registration opens. 5th Graders, the 6th grade teachers will also be in their classrooms as well so that you can get a look at all of the new and wonderful opportunities you have in 6th grade! We hope that you will support your student in making good class selections by bringing them and touring with them!!! Mark your calendars!!!

Parents, spring sport tryouts are happening right now! In order for your student to participate, they need to have previous fees caught up. If you aren’t sure how to take care of those fees, please contact the front office or LeAnn in the finance office for a refresher.
