Week 19

Ice Skating

Hurray! It’s time for this special Lincoln tradition. Thanks to our amazing PTO, each class has the privilege of walking over to the John and Dede Howard Ice Rink for some time on the ice. There is no cost for students. Skates are provided. Ms. Gould’s class will leave Lincoln at 9:40 and Mrs. Fiesbeck’s class at 10:30. We will enjoy hot chocolate and a relaxing walk back to school. 

Hat Day

National Hat Day is Wednesday, January 15. Firsties can wear whatever fun hat in the classroom they would like!
