In March, Lincoln High School is going to have a Community Day where we will focus on building up our school community and strengthening our relationships as a school family for a few hours. Our teachers are sharing activities with our students from community service activities (like creating Gift of Life blankets for donor families and making and donating dog treats to the Humane Society), to fun activities (like cards, games, movies, cooking, gardening, and crafting), as well as options to practice mindfulness activities. Donations would be extremely helpful, so we are able to have materials for our activities. Please see the Amazon Wish List below to see how you can help! Thank you for supporting us. Go Splitters!

On Friday, March 14th some students from our Engineering Pathway courses had an incredible opportunity to get an up close look at EV vehicles and learn more about them at Washtenaw Community College.

This opportunity first and foremost promises to be FUN, but will also improve your student's critical thinking, public speaking, research, and persuasion skills, and even help build their confidence.

Debate will meet on Mondays from 2:15-3:15 in Room 524 starting March 31.

For more information, students should plan to come to the interest meeting.
