Lincoln School News for May 9 - May 13, 2022

Thank you for everything you and your children did for us during appreciation week.  We certainly felt the love!

Elementary Track Meet Rescheduled for THIS Friday!

Due to the rain, the elementary track meet was rescheduled for this Friday, May 13th!  Due to the date change, we could use some additional volunteers.

This is an annual competition between the three district elementary schools and is always a highlight of the spring. 

This event is not well-suited for siblings to attend in a volunteer capacity, but spectators are always welcome!

PTO Planning for Fall

Next fall Lincoln, E.P. Clarke, and Brown Elementary are planning a joint tailgate before a home football game for all of the elementary school children & families.  If you’d like to be a part of the planning committee please email Catherine at catherinebkirshenbaum@gmail.com

The end of year 5th grade breakfast is fast approaching and we need a small committee of parents to make it special for our 5th graders.  If you’re interested in helping please email Catherine Kirshenbaum.

News from the Lunch Room

We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St Joseph Public School student.   Please try to remember to preorder your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch.  This helps speed up the morning lunch count process.  You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.  

Due to the supply chain issues we are having with our vendors and food outages we will be providing a one week menu on our website and Principal blogs on the Friday before the next week.   This will alleviate us having to make constant changes to a monthly menu and keep you better informed.
