Congratulations to Lincoln’s Constitution Team who wowed judges with their knowledge of the founding fathers, constitutional amendments, case law, analysis of current constitutional issues ranging from fair trials and social media to the debate regarding states v federal rights. Our Constitutional scholars earned one of just six slots to advance to the State competition in two weeks where they will compete for the opportunity to represent Oregon at Nationals. Lincoln’s team members are mostly sophomores making our team the youngest team in the country. Lincoln also maintains the record of being the school with the most National Championship titles in the country. We are proud of this year’s students and their sustained work and dedication. Our success is also due to the incredible coaching by all volunteer lawyers and Constitution Team alumni who return to give back to the program. Our country needs more highly informed civics scholars! Go Cards!
We were excited to share that our Romance Book Club students were featured on NPR’s All Things Considered as part of a celebration of reading as part of Lincoln’s Romance Book Club. It’s a 5 minute listen and we highly recommend listening as the joy of reading and discussing literature will make you smile. Literacy is important for many reasons at LHS and we loved the positive national shoutout!
LHS After Hours FREE Tutoring is available for students who need added help before final exams this month. What will After Hours look like?
It will be hosted in room 229 on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:45-4:45
Snacks will be provided
There will be tables with signs for each subject a student is there to work on
We can use the flex space on the landing and my office to spread out and work with students there.
We will have a QR for students to scan after they have made progress on their work to track their attendance so we can see who is using the support, how often, and then can hopefully give them a reward for coming.
If you’d like to help chaperone “After Hours” supports or provide tutoring please contact Instructional Specialist Emily Hensley @ehensley@pps.net
It’s the time of the year when students, families and staff can nominate a teacher for Oregon’s Teacher of the Year award. Find out more here. LHS has outstanding educators!
Please join us tomorrow night, Tuesday the 14th, here in our gym for the Cardinals v Jefferson Demos doubleheader basketball games with Girls at 5:45 and Boys at 7:15. This is a great way to connect with alumni, other students and families and build community at LHS! Just come!
