Media Center News

Hi Lincoln School Families!  This week is the last week that the students can check out books from the Media Center.  In order to prepare for a book inventory, we need to have ALL books returned by the end of May. If your student has library books at home, please help them remember to return them ASAP.  The first class to have ALL of their books returned to the MC will be announced on the BEST News.  Also, the students will receive raffle tickets after they have returned ALL of their books to try to win a prize!  Thank you so much for your help.
