Lincoln School News for Nov. 11-15, 2019


It's going to snow this week!  Please send your children to school dressed for the weather.  Boots are needed to play off the blacktop when there is snow.  Snow pants are not required, but we encourage them.  Remember, students have 3 recesses and are outside unless the temperature is in single digits.

Please follow the drop off and pick up procedures, with snow coming, things can be more difficult.  Our dismissal bell rings at 3:50pm and by 4:00pm the pick up line is pretty clear.  If you have upper elementary students and you want to avoid a lot of the congestion, you could pick up at 4:00pm and probably move right through.

This Tuesday, Nov. 12 is the Lincoln Elementary give back night at Silver Beach Pizza!  Don’t forget to bring the flyer your child brought home or stop in to the office if you need another.

We still need a few more volunteers for the Thanksgiving Lunch this Thursday.  Remember this is a day when lunch is not open to visitors, only volunteers may attend.  If you would like to volunteer please click on the link below:

Stuff a Truck Food Drive

Student Council is proud to help connect our school community with the larger Berrien County community by collecting non-perishable (canned goods, boxed dinner/pasta) food items now through Monday, November 11. If you are able, simply pick up an item (or more) at the grocery store, and send it to school with your student to be donated. We collect now because there is a greater need for food around the holidays. In addition to the positive feelings that occur with giving to those in need, there is a classroom incentive (prize) for the class that donates the most perishable food items. 

This event is sponsored by 97.5 Y Country and Rogers. Items are donated to the Southwest Michigan Action Agency. 











Toys for Tots Opportunity
We are a family here at our school and we want to make sure all the members of our family have what they need. The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots has a chapter in our community that will provide assistance to families in need
around the holiday season by providing gifts for children. If this is a resource that your family might benefit from, please either apply in person at the Salvation Army (233 Michigan Street Benton Harbor, MI 49022) November 4th - November 8th, 2019 or you can apply on-line beginning now through November 8th. Here is a link to the application https://berrien-mi.toysfortots.org 
You will receive confirmation between November 16-November 23 and the gift distribution process will occur, December 17th and 18th. Further information is available:  www.facebook.com/toysfortots and www.twitter.com/ToysForTots_USA.
