We hope you have seen your fifth grader's report card by now as they went home in backpacks on Wednesday. The Spanish grades did not print due to a glitch with PowerSchool so we are reprinting and will be sending those home soon.
Keep the report card but return the signed envelope. Additional report cards were mailed to caregivers who don't live at the student's primary address.

We have gotten some inquiries into the Summer Sports Camp that retired wellness teacher Mr. Burke used to run. That camp was run by him as a private individual, not under the context of the school or the athletics department. We do not anticipate another person taking that on, so feel free to plan for other camps or head off on vacation that week or just enjoy another week with the kids at home. |
The theater program is looking for a volunteer to take charge of makeup for SpongeBob. Amanda Sykes is stepping down, having filled this role for 9 years! Huge thanks to Amanda for her years of eye liner, hairspray, and creativity.
If you are interested (9-year commitment not required), please email Kristin Hall (khall@lincnet.org). Generally this just involves just a little bit of planning, then supervising the makeup room (with student crew and adult volunteers) for the four performances (Wed. matinee on 3/11, evening shows on 3/12, 3/13, and Saturday 3/14). Even if you cannot commit to all 4 shows, please reach out if you are interested. It could also be done with a 2-person team.
