Lincoln School News for February 4 - 8, 2019

Wow!  What a week... I hope everyone spent some quality family time together.  Things sure are quiet around Lincoln School and we can't wait to have everything back to normal. This amazing photo by Joshua Nowicki was taken yesterday.

 Since we were out all this week, many of our program dates need to be rescheduled.  You will find some calendar information below, but I will be sending an update with more information once I have it.

 Pennies for Patients


Beginning Monday and running through February 8th, Lincoln School is participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients program; a service-learning program that gives students the unique experience of working together to help raise awareness and funds in honor of thousands of children and adults fighting against blood cancers!

We are asking that everyone (students, faculty, parents, alumni, etc.) at Lincoln School join in this effort of raising awareness and collecting funds to benefit the mission of LLS: to find cures for blood cancers and to improve the quality of life for patient and their families. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Click this link for online donations. You will need to create account (if you select “log in with Google” it is pretty simple and straightforward). Then you can share the link with family and friends near and far, so they can donate too. You can also contribute by sending donations into the classroom. Please send in donations by Friday 2/8. Your child's classroom teacher will add your donation to the class collection box.

Thank you so much for supporting LLS and ’s participation in the Pennies program! Click here for more information on Pennies for Patients or other LLS Student Series Programs.

PlayIt Safe! Classroom Presentations
Saint Joseph Public Schools is proud to join other school districts across Berrien County in partnering with the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) of Southwest Michigan to bring the nationally recognized PlayIt Safe! Program to our schools. Presentations at Lincoln will begin soon.

Play it Safe!® is a child abuse awareness and prevention program that incorporates age-appropriate scripts and movies to teach children how to reduce their risk of sexual and physical abuse, and sexual assault. It teaches them to recognize potentially abusive behavior, provides the tools to respond to threatening situations, and encourages them to report abuse to a trusted adult.

All students in Kindergarten - 5th grade will participate in a lesson designed with content specific to the grade level. Trained professionals from the center will lead the learning to help students in recognizing three kinds of touch how to respond using a 3-part safety rule if they are ever in an uncomfortable situation. This safety rule can be applied to many situations that students may encounter on a daily basis, such as bullying and online situations, peer pressure, or exploitation by friends/family. The safety rule encourages assertive responses, whether it is used with strangers or someone the child knows and loves.

For more information about the program, including previews of the materials, visit the PlayItSafe.org website. If you prefer your child does not participate, please email Mr. Hubble at chubble@sjschools.org.

Outdoor Gear 
Students love enjoying the wintery playground! When the "real feel" temperature is at least ten degrees, we will enjoy the great outdoors for recess. Please help your child enjoy 

every minute of it by making sure to send boots, hat/ear muffs, gloves/mittens and snow pants to school every day.

Please be sure to label items with your child's name and encourage him/her to search the lost and found for any missing gear - the collection is growing.
