News for January 6, 2020

We are eager to welcome students back to school this week! As partners in your child's education, we will begin 2020 with purpose and an ongoing commitment to supporting the whole child.  

BE ON TIME!

One of the best things you can do to help support your child is to get them to school on time!  That means having your child here by 8:20 at the VERY LATEST.  Our line-up bell rings at 8:23am.

Register Now! 

Girls on the Run

Have you heard of Girls on the Run? Lincoln Elementary School will be hosting two teams in Spring 2020! 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade girls can join a team that meets twice per week after school. For ten weeks, the team will have lots of fun with games that incorporate social-emotional learning while practicing for a celebration 5K event on May 15th! For more information, go to https://www.gotrswmi.org/Register-Now Registration is now open! Any questions, email aettinger@sjschools.org or jtrumbley@sjschools.org 

Let Me Run (Boys Running Program-New this year!)

This 7 week program is very similar to Girls on the Run, but it is just for boys! This program will also take place at Lincoln, after school, two days a week. This program will teach young boys how to also be strong citizens of our community, while also learning how to run a 5k. The boys and girls WILL NOT run together, and they will also have seperate races. We are excited to bring this program to Lincoln this year! We are looking for coaches as well, please sign up online, starting on Wednesday, January 8th! https://letmerun.org/about-the-program and email aettinger@sjschools.org with any questions.

MSIA Cold is Cool allows 4th & 5th Graders to Ski Free in Michigan! The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) wants to give Michigan kids an opportunity to get out, have fun and get healthy this winter. This is why MSIA has established Cold is Cool, a state-wide program that provides every 4th and 5th grader the opportunity to ski for free. Students can obtain a Cold is Cool Ski & Ride Passport that gives them up to three free lift tickets or trail passes over 25 participating ski areas, plus additional discounts on the slopes and in Michigan ski shops. MSIA charges $20 for the passport (to cover printing and shipping.)

In addition to the lift tickets donated by the participating ski areas, Cold is Cool Passport also includes a coupon for 20% off a helmet purchase and $20 off the purchase of $100 at participating ski shops across the state. Some ski areas have also included coupons for equipment rental and free or discounted lessons.https://www.goskimichigan.com/cold-is-cool/.
