THE LINCOLN LOGS

Dear Lincoln Families,

We are delighted to report that our school year is off to an incredible start! Our young Grizzlies are enthusiastically embracing our core values of being "SAFE, KIND, AND RESPONSIBLE." Be sure to ask your child how they are embodying these values in the classroom, on the playground, and throughout our school community.

Mark your calendars! 📆 This Friday, September 6th, we invite you to join us at Art Wright Stadium for our Salute to Troops Football Game. 💙🏈 Let's come together to cheer on our Lincoln Grizzlies—remember, all veterans receive free admission! Don’t forget to show your school spirit by wearing your Lincoln or Wadsworth gear.

We’re committed to keeping you in the loop with our monthly Lincoln Newsletter, sent straight to your email. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date in Final Forms. If you haven’t been receiving our newsletters, kindly check your spam folder and add us to your contacts.

Your support plays a crucial role in fostering a positive and thriving learning environment for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can ensure a successful and enriching school year for your child.

Go Grizzlies! 🐾

Picture day for Lincoln Elementary School students will be on Friday, October 4th.

Hello Lincoln Families!

Welcome to the new school year! Whether we’ve connected yet or not, I hope you had a great summer. Let’s make this year fantastic!

What’s Ahead: Classroom Learning

Next week, I’ll start classroom lessons by revisiting the Zones of Regulation, which helps students manage their emotions and settle back into school. We’ll also explore Skills for Learning—focusing on organization, class focus, and teamwork. We’ll talk about being respectful learners and listeners too! I’m excited to see your child grow this year. Thank you for your support! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Weekenders Program

Our Weekenders program, in partnership with Feeding Medina County, provides healthy food bags for students to take home each weekend. If you’re interested or need assistance, please contact me.

Our littlest grizzlies are off to an amazing start! 💚🐾 From the moment they arrived, they’ve been curious, excited, and ready to learn. 🌟

We’ve spent these first few days getting to know each other, exploring our classrooms, and learning about being "SAFE, KIND, AND RESPONSIBLE." It’s been wonderful to see them making new friends and feeling at home at Lincoln. 🏫

Every day has been filled with fun activities, from storytime to our first group projects. We’re off to a fantastic start, and we're excited for all the learning and adventures ahead! 🎨📚

Thank you for your support as we begin this journey together.

They can however celebrate their birthday by donating a book to the classroom or our school library. Books will be identified with the student’s name and birthdate and shared with the class. In addition, student names are announced in the morning and they receive a birthday pencil from the office.
