The last edition of Lincoln School News for 2018!

I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday, even if I do hang out with The Grinch!
Merry Christmas!!!


The 2018-19 Lincoln School Directory is now available to Lincoln Parents only.  Although we have included all students on the class lists, we have not included contact information for those students who preferred not to be listed in the directory.  If you find an error or need to update your information, or would/would not like to be listed in the directory, please email Mrs. Trumbley at jtrumbley@sjschools.org, and she will make the adjustment.
Here is the link:


I read to classes every month.  This month Mrs. Bacolor helped me and we used the new green screen tools in the student news room to make the experience a little more festive.  Check it out!




We had an amazing time at the high school this morning. Can you picture almost 1000 elementary students in one place? They were a fantastic audience and the high school performing arts groups kept everyone entertained!



See you on January 7, 2019
