Summer Updates from Lincoln School

Good Morning Everyone,

This is a bit of a long read, but please read to the end.  This post includes supply list information and school year calendar information below.

I don't recall where I read this, but the words have stuck with me...

“It doesn’t matter what’s been written in your story so far. It’s how you fill up the remaining pages that counts.”

It's time for me to start working on that, but letting go is difficult.  I am retiring from public education after more than 32 years, 24 of those I have spent in St. Joe.  I want to thank each and every one of you for all you have done for me and our staff & school.  The Lincoln Staff and PTO accomplished so many things in 5 years, here is a list of several...

Refreshed the landscape in the front of the school.

Accepted the National Blue Ribbon School Award

Added the kickball field in honor of Mr. Michael Wagner

Added new fencing around the playground and courtyard

Trimmed trees in the courtyard, added butterfly gardens and picnic tables so kids could eat lunch outside.

Refreshed the blacktop and painted activities on the surface

Painted the main floor

Put in a new stage floor and painted the stage area

Added a Social Emotional Learning room in the basement.

Lincoln School families remodeled the teacher's lounge!!!!! 

There are so many other things, the trust, support and caring you have given to us is immeasurable.  There is no way I would ever be able to express the immense gratitude I have.  I came to St. Joe to be principal of Lincoln School in 1998, it is fitting that this is where that chapter ends.  Best wishes to all of you, I hope our paths continue to cross.

Also, I didn't take much of a break from work... I have taken a Part-Time Consultant job with NWEA.  The schedule is flexible and I am excited to support a product I know and trust.

Grade Level Supply Lists for Fall 2022

You can access the lists here.    Tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet allow you to choose the grade level.  Please know that SJPS provides all necessary supplies.  The lists on this spreadsheet are for you in case you wish to send your student with additional supplies.
