Welcome to the Lion Community! Here you will see news
regarding our lion pride and how we've worked together as a community!
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!
Thank you to the Lincoln community for a successful Fall Book Fair!
While we're still calculating our final numbers, we're estimating approximately $15,000 in sales. The PTO will receive up to 40% back in books for our school!
We'll be working with Ms. Meisinger to develop a wish list of books, with a focus on getting social justice titles for our classrooms.
Sending a HUGE thank you to Ms. Meisinger and all the volunteers who gave their time to make this fair a success.
