Lincoln at a Glance
April 15th – 20th
Your Weekly Motivation
Welcome back to Lincoln at a Glance! Each passing week, I find fewer and fewer ways to stall you all with this useless introductory paragraph. This really just serves as a roadblock as to not make it too easy for you to get information about the upcoming week. As long as I can keep thinking of things, the longer I can keep my job. I can only assume you’re feeling the same this far into the school year. If you’re looking for some extra motivation, just remember, if I can keep this going week after week, then so can you! Let’s push forward and keep SOARING all the way to the end of the semester! We’re proud of all of you and our students!
Read on to hear more about this awesome week!

House Keeping
Parents,
Spring is upon us, and the temperature is starting to warm up. Beginning Monday, April 15th, each day before school starts, the students will be lining up in the back of the school. This will be the same procedure the student did in the fall. There will be supervision in the back while the students play and wait for the bell to ring. Please send a jacket with your student.
We’ll plan on being outside the rest of the year unless there is inclement weather.
