Our next PTO Meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 19th @ 6PM at the Lincoln School Media Center. 

Why attend? Every Lincoln parent, guardian, and teacher is automatically a PTO member. Attending gives you the scoop on school happenings, updates from Principal Rehfield, and a chance to share your ideas. Plus, it's a great way to meet other parents and staff!

Join us from 6:00-7:30 PM on Wednesday, November 19th in person at the Media Center at Lincoln School. 

Special Guest on Nov. 19! We are excited to welcome special guest, Catina Burris, our school’s math interventionist, at our next meeting!

• Catina will guide families in seeing math as more than just counting—it's about discovering patterns, relationships, and reasoning. 
• Through engaging Number Talks, she’ll demonstrate how short, fun activities can help kindergartners (and beyond!) think flexibly about numbers.
• You’ll walk away with practical tips and strategies to make math more meaningful—and more fun—at home.

During the week of October 14, our K–5 Garden Club members teamed up during lunch recess to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs in front of the school.

It was a wonderful community effort that will bring beautiful bursts of color to welcome spring! 🌼💛

Interested in getting involved with Grownup Garden Club? Join us for the next one on November 7th starting at 3pm after school!

Our 3rd Annual Halloween Costume Exchange took place on September 27, and it was a hit! About 20 families came out to donate or pick up costumes, helping make Halloween a little more fun — and sustainable — for everyone.

All remaining costumes were donated to UCAN in North Lawndale for their Trunk or Treat event on Halloween, as well as to a Lawndale Pop-Up Spot staff member hosting a Halloween celebration on October 30.

Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and helped spread the spirit of giving this spooky season! 🧡👻
