Lincoln at a Glance: A Week of Learning, Leadership, and School Spirit
This week at Lincoln Academy is filled with energy and opportunity. Students will be busy with sports games, field trips, and special events across campus. From Junior High Boys Volleyball and Girls Soccer to the Yearbook Spring Fling Workshop, our students are learning both inside and outside the classroom.
Families can look forward to Elementary Ticket Day on April 25, and the 5th Grade Hero Wax Museum on April 24, where students will showcase their hard work and creativity. Other highlights include the PC Meeting, Board Meeting, and the 7th Grade Bees Baseball Night. Friday is also an Online Day, so be sure to check for Lincoln Lessons at home.
As always, we encourage families to stay involved. Sign up for After School Art Class, help out with JH Lunchtime Service, and donβt forget to mark your calendars for the Color Run on May 2.
Letβs make it another great week together.

Letβs Keep Lincoln Safe & Respectful
We kindly ask all families to help keep our school community safe and respectful during drop-off and pick-up. Please drive slowly through school zones, follow carpool procedures, and stay in designated areas to avoid blocking traffic or driveways. Weβve also noticed some students leaving trash, picking up rocks, or walking through nearby yards. We ask for your help in reminding your children to respect the homes and property around our school. Letβs all work together to keep our neighborhood clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Thank you for your continued support!

Lincoln Academy Color Run
The Lincoln Fundraising Committee is excited to announce that the 4th Annual Color Run is coming up soon! Mark your calendars for Friday, May 2, 2025 from 4-5:30 PM. Make sure to wear white! The race will be held at Lincoln Academy.Β Β The race route starts at our school and continues around the surrounding neighborhoods, then back to the school. This yearβs race is approximately 1 mile to accommodate everyone! More details, plus a map, will be out soon. The cost to race is $15. This is our big spring fundraiser so we encourage all to come and have fun, and help raise money for our school at the same time!
We are grateful for the money that you helped us raise last fall for the new reading program, Just Right Readers. We have been able to put books in so many classrooms as we incorporate this new program into our school. We have recently been informed that if we can raise $3,000 more, then we would be able to put additional Just Right ReadersΒ chapterΒ books into some classrooms, as well! We would love to make this our goal for this event and we encourage your participation! If you are unable to race but would still like to donate, there is a part in the link to just donate toward these readers.
