Attention Fourth Grade Parents!

Get your Slideshow Pics Submitted!

It’s almost time for your little eagle to fly over to middle school (sniff, sniff), but before that happens, let’s embarrass them! During the 4th grade breakfast, we will watch a video montage of your child’s years at Lincoln. Please submit any school photos from Kindergarten-4th Grade so we can reminisce about the fun times at our wonderful elementary school. Photos can be emailed to vmfreund@sbcglobal.net (.jpeg & 300dpi if possible) I’m also happy to accept DVDs, flash drives, floppy discs, reel to reels- whatever it takes to get your little one’s face on the big screen. Feel free to drop off hardware in the mailbox at: 747 Franklin

Your help is greatly appreciated!  -Vickie Freund
