Message from Principal Zimmerman
Welcome to March! Usually, at this time of year, we are looking forward to warmer days and more sunshine, but we have definitely seen plenty of that already this winter!
A big THANK YOU to the Lincoln PTO, and all of the volunteers, for helping to make the Lincoln Carnival such a success! It was wonderful to hear all of the laughs and excitement of students and their families enjoying games, snacks and prizes. Can’t wait for next year’s event!
Thank you for your continued support. The partnership between Lincoln families and school is a huge part of what makes our school, and our students, so wonderful!
Michelle Zimmerman
Principal
Spring Picture Day
Spring Picture Day will be on Friday, March 22. LifeTouch will be taking whole class group photos and individual pictures. Individual student pictures will only be taken of those students who preorder online or bring an order form on the day of pictures. Order forms will be sent home with students soon.
You can place your order at mylifetouch.com before Picture Day with the following picture IDs:
INDIVIDUAL PICTURE ID: EVTDDVV7V
CLASS PHOTO ID: EVT93DNWQ
Northtown Art Show
March 25 - April 4
Each year the Anoka-Hennepin elementary schools put on a district-wide art exhibition at the Northtown Mall in Blaine. This annual show highlights the fantastic work being done by K-5 students in the art classroom. Since only a small percentage of students from each school are selected for inclusion, it is quite an honor to participate in this exciting opportunity.
