Lincoln School News for June 7-11, 2021

 

It is hard to believe that we are preparing to say goodbye to the 2020-21 school year and will be welcoming summer break in just a few short days! Thank you, Lincoln School Families, for your patience throughout the year and for your commitment to learning, however difficult the circumstances. Our students continued to thrive thanks to our partnership and the dedication of our staff, students, and all of you. Thank you! 

The Final Week of Learning at Lincoln School
6/7   4th Gr. to Kiwanis Park 12:30-3:20pm (Students and Staff Only)
        3rd Grade Reading Camp - All Day

6/8    Hot Dog Picnic Lunch (outside dining by cohort group)
         1st Gr. to Kiwanis Park 9:30am-12:30pm (Students and Staff) 
         4th Grade Virtual Tour of the Michigan State Capital 11:00-12:15

6/9     NOT a late start day!
          NOT a 1/2 day for ELE students (MS/HS only)
          5th Gr. to Kiwanis Park 12:40-3:20pm (Students & Staff Only)
          
6/10  1/2 day of school - dismissal @ 12:34pm
         Fifth Grade Farewell Breakfast (students & staff only)
         Fifth Gr. vs. Staff Kickball Game 11:00-12:00 (students & staff only)

6/11   Last day of school! 
          1/2 day of school - dismissal @ 12:34pm
          Fifth grade awards assembly at 11:00am (5th graders & staff only)
This event will be live streamed for families at this link.  Also, because we did not run many of the clubs this year, the format will be slightly different.  The 2 Seniors from SJHS that were scholarship winners will be giving us their words of wisdom through a pre-recorded video.  Mr. Mandarino will also be delivering a video message.  I am guessing the program will last approximately 30 minutes, so be sure to block out time to watch from 11:00 - 11:30am.  I will send the details for connecting a couple times this week.
         




Congratulations and best of luck to all of our transitioning fifth grade students. Boy, how we will miss you and your families throughout the hallways of Lincoln School. We are confident that the road ahead will be full of opportunities to showcase your leadership and talents.

All the best always,
Your Lincoln School Staff

St. Joe Robotics Team

St. Joe Robotics is accepting new participants for the 2021-2022 seasons. Whether or not you were able to attend the Robotics Expo last weekend, check out the EXPO website with all of the pertinent information and the link to sign up. Teams are available for students in K-12th grade.


A very special thank you  goes out to our lunchtime enrichment facilitators. This amazing team built long-lasting relationships with our students through sharing stories and teaching throughout the lunchtime hour. They co-facilitated physical education, media/tech, social-emotional learning, music, and art lessons, utilizing the remote instructional lessons provided by our itinerant team. Their dedication to our students and adaptability is admirable and so very appreciated.
