May 2024
Lincoln Families and Friends,
May is always a busy month at an elementary school and this year is no different. We have already completed the Spring Music Concert for a full house on April 11th at the new OHS Wenger Auditorium. Our 2nd and 3rd grade students along with the Lincoln Choir performed. If you were in attendance, you understand the need for reducing the school population at Lincoln. Next year, this concert will have 50 less student performers making room for the friends and family that attend.
Because of the boundary changes, the Lincoln enrollment for the 2024-25 school year will be reduced by about 100 students. If you are one of the families moving to a new school, the school district will be hosting Open Houses at all four elementary schools on May 1st from 4:30 - 5:30. This will be a chance to see the new school and meet some of the staff members. I know changes can be stressful, but they also can be opportunities for students to meet new friends and have a positive experience they wouldn’t have had without the change. I encourage you to use this move as an opportunity to build resilience with your children.
Hopefully you will be able to join us for one of the many events between now and the end of the school year. We have track meets, field days, the Fun Run, 5th grade graduation and more. Check out this newsletter or the school calendar for May and June events.
Mrs. Hawkins, Lincoln School Principal
The Lincoln staff wishes to congratulate Mrs. Hawkins on her retirement from Lincoln Elementary! We thank her for her leadership at Lincoln for the last 11 years. We wish her a lifetime filled with relaxation, adventure, and all the things she's dreamed of doing. May this new chapter be her best one yet, filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. We know she will enjoy every moment of retirement!
