Lincoln School News for Nov. 4-8, 2019





November already?! Our school calendar is filling up as we head into a season of celebrations, special events, and activities. Thank you for reading along each week to stay connected and informed. We appreciate your partnership!

Silver Beach Pizza Give Back Night
Mark your calendars for a Lincoln Elementary give back night at Silver Beach Pizza on Tuesday, Nov. 12!  Flyers with more information will be coming home with students next week. 

Lincoln’s Annual Thanksgiving Lunch 
This event is quickly approaching and we need a lot of volunteers to make this special day happen.  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 OpportunityWe 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.



24 Hour Fever & Vomit Free RuleWhen  reporting your child’s illness to the school, we need to know what specific illness is affecting your child, including symptoms.  This allows us to accurately complete our weekly report for the Berrien County Health Department. Please help us prevent the spread of illness here at school by remembering that your child has to be fever free (without medication) and vomit free for 24 hours before returning to class. Thank you!
