Lincoln Elementary Newsletter

December was a month filled with learning, laughter, and holiday cheer! Our students worked hard on their projects and activities, showcasing creativity and teamwork. Highlights included our the 3rd grade's hot chocolate and movie day, kindergarten's polar express activities, the Winter Concert, and all of our class parties.

I would like to wish all of our families a year full of happiness, good health, and quality time together!

We had a very successful mattress fundraiser in November! We will be splitting the money with TJ Middle School and planning out some projects for Lincoln. Thank you for all of your help with spreading the news about our sale.

Ms. Doering's students applied for the very important job of "elf" and had a super fun day in the process!

Students are learning how to recognize their own feelings, show empathy, and use kind words and actions. You can support these lessons at home by encouraging your child to talk about their day, share how they’re feeling, and practice acts of kindness together as a family. Remember, even small actions—like saying "thank you" or helping a friend—can make a big difference!

As always, I’m here to support you and your child. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need resources. Let’s make this a great month of growth and positivity!

Dental services include examinations, cleaning, and corrective procedures such as extractions and fillings, at no cost to you. Children will be seen by appointment only. To learn more about the program and to view the complete list of participating providers and dates, please visit the New Jersey Dental Association website: https://www.njda.org/for-the-public/gkas/for-parents.

A number of dental programs for all needs and ages administered by the state of NJ or by non-profit organizations are available to assist the public in finding dental care. To learn more please visit: https://www.njda.org/for-the-public/find-a-dentist/dental-clinics---programs

Please be mindful of our neighbors by parking on the correct side of the road, with the flow of traffic. Please refrain from parking and turning around in the business lot on East Main Street. This creates a traffic jam for people trying to arrive for their appointments.

The next meeting will be on January 8th at 7:30 PM in TJ's cafeteria. Please join us! 😁
