Kuumba Kids

Lincoln’s Kuumba Kids started us off

right! Performers wowed us with drumming, dance, and song. Lincoln’s

chorus sang “We Shall Overcome” by Pete Seeger and Lincoln’s

dancers performed a Mendiani dance, receiving a standing ovation

from the packed house.

 

The parent side of the PTO is grateful to the teacher/staff side for allowing us to bring in the program and doing all the internal work to make it happen.

 

Special thank you to Jennifer Frey, Principal Gordon, Ms. Lowry, Ms. Roskopf, Mr. McKinney and Mr. Tangora! We hope to build on this event in celebration of this very special month.

Teacher Conferences 

 

The first in-person (and virtual) Teacher Conferences took place this past October at Lincoln. 

 

The Teacher Appreciation committee dedicated $1,000 to a catered luncheon for family/teacher conferences.

 

Staff enjoyed a sandwich spread from Starship served in the teacher's lounge on Thursday 10/27. The teachers were so thankful to enjoy this catered lunch and many came down after long conferences and were still able grab from a wide selection.

 

Special thanks to Ms. Lowry and Mr. C for their support with setup!
