CONGRATS to Lincoln Thespian troupe 4719 for WINNING at INSTAFEST! Special kudos to Seth Kirlin for winning set design, Gemma Pendergast for 2nd in performance, and Fraser Barnes, Noel Evans, Sydney Jordan, and Gemma Pendergast for winning the Theater History KAHOOT!

Description: Banned Together follows three young women during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate these banned books. We witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, famous authors and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right to Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.

As we follow their activist journey, Banned Together illuminates the radical political forces vying for control of public education and the nationwide resistance to their efforts.

Both were part of an exceptionally strong candidate pool this year. Finalists at LHS included Leah Almeida, Ruby Berman, Iris Foster, Maria Ganev, Naomi Margolis, and all would have been excellent representatives at the State selection level.

Kudos to Ranjani Krishnan…CS/CTE teachers from PPS have now been accepted into a professional development (PD) program that we applied for (details below). The sessions will be held online every Tuesday, starting September 24th and running through November 19th, from 4 PM to 6 PM. One of the main goals of this PD is to support our efforts in retaining historically underserved students in our intermediate and advanced CS classes through the use of games—not typical shooter games, but ones that drive social change or act as agents of social justice.

Congratulations to LHS SS teachers Blair Hennessey & Xóchitl López-Truss who were selected to participate in the MESD Teacher Fellowship and Learning Series Social Science for a Better World. She will be working with educators across our region to create lessons that embed Oregon Black History, Japanese American History, Latine History, Tribally-Specific and Place-Based Histories, and Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights education.

Kudos to LHS Speech & Debate Head Coach Ben Harrison who led our team/program to earn significant recognition from the National Speech & Debate Association. Students earn Honor Society points and degrees based on competitions, leadership, and service activities which contribute to our school’s strength points. LHS received more than 150 strength points last year which moved our school’s program into the prestigious “100 Club”. Lincoln HS Speech & Debate was recognized as a “program that teaches essential skills including communication, research, listening, writing, and organization.” Way to go Ben Harrison and Speech & Debate Cards!

Profe Todd is on a streak! Give Trevor Todd a high five! His classroom project "Graphic Novels en Español - Engaging Readers, Emerging Bilinguals" was recently funded.

We are all mourning the loss of LHS Alum John Herman. John was on the Sesquicentennial Steering Committee helping us plan activities and fundraisers. He was an avid supporter of the Arts and PopCycles in particular. LHS has lost a true gem.

LHS is proud of Alum JT Flowers who was just appointed to the TriMet Board. JT is a key part of the leadership team working for the Albina Vision Trust, and was a Rhodes Scholar & Truman Fellow after graduating from Yale University. Way to go JT!

Meet Niccolò, an Italian student looking for a family next spring semester at Lincoln HS.

A caring, thoughtful, friendly boy, with his sociable personality and open mind, Niccolò makes friends easily and loves to explore new countries and traditions. Always ready to support the others, he enjoys making people feel comfortable and happy. Niccolò learnt from tennis to be disciplined and determined, from basketball and soccer the team spirit. A very good skier, he enjoys any sport, hiking, running, biking, sailing, kayaking, and is excited to try new experiences like camping, rafting… Music fills his life, but he also likes movies, art, cooking, loves animals and enjoys playing with kids. He would experience volunteering in his new community. Niccolò was brought up as an only child and dreams to experience life with an American sibling. He has a close bond with his parents and is willing to give the same care to his American family.

Ergon devotes great care to selecting students and matching them with host families. For parents

and children alike, the experience of sharing their home with an Italian student often leads to lifelong friendships. To complete the cultural exchange, your son or daughter will enjoy an-all expense paid Italian vacation to visit the family of your Italian student in the summer of 2025, and Ergon sponsors

the flight!

Former Lincoln host families will be happy to share their experience with you!

To know more, please e-mail info@ergon-se.org and visit www.ergon-se.org. We look forward to

hearing from you. Thanks!
