Congratulations to Mrs. Kaufman and Mrs. Martin for receiving staff Spot Awards this month! Parent nominations are below:
Mrs. Kaufman has sparked my son's love and interest in Art since his first week of Kindergarten this year. He is always so excited to create and even re-create all the wonderful art projects in Mrs. Kaufman's classroom. Thank you so much for bringing creativity to my son and all the kids at Lincoln!
Mrs. Martin has volunteered her time to offer extra help to students after school who are struggling in phonics. I am incredibly grateful for her and the support she is showing to my son who needs some extra help.

Gianna and James are being recognized with a Spot Award for their outstanding contributions to our school community. Both students demonstrate responsibility, kindness, and a willingness to help others. Whether in the classroom or around the building, they set a positive example through their actions and attitudes.

This recognition highlights their positive contributions to our school community. Their efforts, attitude, and commitment to doing the right thing have not gone unnoticed.
Our students enjoyed an engaging and interactive theatre experience during our Cultural Arts Assembly on March 25. The performance provided a wonderful opportunity for students to participate, think creatively, and connect with the arts in a meaningful way.
A sincere thank you to Experience Good Company for delivering such a dynamic and memorable program. We are also grateful to our HSA for their continued support and for funding this enriching experience for our students.



Students performed in today’s Beginner String Recital. This special event highlighted the hard work, dedication, and progress our young musicians have made as they begin their journey with string instruments.

We are proud to share that many of our Lincoln students participated in the Music Marathon at JCHS this past Saturday. It was a wonderful event filled with energy, talent, and a true love of music.
Our students represented Lincoln with pride and performed beautifully. Thank you to our dedicated music teachers for preparing and supporting our students, and to all of the participants who helped make this such a special and memorable event.

On Friday, we proudly celebrated World Down Syndrome Day with the Lagonigro family. It was a meaningful opportunity for our school community to come together and learn about the importance of celebrating differences and embracing what makes each of us unique.
Our students participated in thoughtful discussions and worked collaboratively to create a beautiful art piece that represents inclusion, kindness, and acceptance. This special project will be on display at Lincoln School as a reminder of the values we share.
Thank you to the Lagonigro family for helping make this experience so impactful for our students.

Congratulations to Mrs. Grazioso and Mr. Matt for being our Staff Spot Award winners this week! Thank you for the dedication, care, and commitment you bring to our school community every day. Your efforts make a meaningful difference for our students and staff, and we are grateful for all that you do.
For Mrs. Grazioso's nomination, a parent wrote, "Having someone who speaks Spanish is a lot for us because they understand us and explain us the best. My daughter really enjoyed being in her class."
For Mr. Matt's nomination, a parent wrote, "keeping the gym clean so the kids can eat and play basketball for indoor recess."

It was wonderful to see their growth and hear the results of their commitment and practice. Each student played with focus and enthusiasm, and their hard work was evident from beginning to end. Performing in front of an audience is a big accomplishment, and they rose to the occasion beautifully.



Congratulations to our Intermediate String Players on a fantastic performance!
Our students' hard work, dedication, and many hours of practice truly paid off. The music was beautiful and their focus was impressive. It was wonderful to see their confidence and growth shine through in every piece.




Congratulations to our Geography Bee winners!
A big round of applause to Lucas for earning 1st place, Frankie for earning 2nd place, and Karan for earning 3rd place in this year’s Geography Bee. What an incredible accomplishment!
We are extremely proud of all 12 finalists who represented their classrooms so well. Each student demonstrated impressive knowledge, confidence, and perseverance throughout the competition. They should all feel very proud of their hard work.
Our top three winners will go on to represent our school at the district-wide competition at Wilson School on Wednesday, March 11 at 6:30 pm. We wish them the very best as they prepare for the next round!
