Lincoln School Update 1/3/2017

Welcome Back & Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing break!  We're looking forward to seeing everyone back at school.  Please be sure our students are sent to school with appropriate clothing for the weather and outdoor recess.  It looks like it's going to get very cold again.

Now's a great time to remind our students of our Bear Necessities!  Be Responsible Every Day, Always Be Respectful and Safe!

Looking forward to a great 2017 and a super second half of the school year!

GO BEARS!

Sincerely,

Mr. Wagner
