Field Day Information – JUNE 8

Lincoln Field Day will take place on the last day of school, Thursday, June 8. It’s a fun afternoon that kicks off with a family picnic on the Lincoln playground at 11:25. Parents bring a blanket and a picnic lunch for their family. Although many parents attend, kids sit in class groups and will not feel left out if a parent cannot be there.  Specific spots are mapped out for each classroom on the Franklin Lawn.

The Fourth Grade Maypole and Drumming presentation is immediately after lunch.  Then it’s time for the games! Parents are welcome to stay and help run the games, or can collect their kids at the end of the school day.

End of Year PTO Volunteer Party!

ATTENTION PARENTS OF 4TH GRADERS

A video will be shown at the 4th grade breakfast on the morning of June 8. The video will contain photos of the 4th graders and their years at Lincoln school.

Crossing Guard Donations at the Ice Cream Social

Our school community started a wonderful tradition a few years ago.  We collect for end-of-the-year monetary gifts for our hard-working and friendly crossing guards, Moana and Paulette.  Parents will be collecting before and after school on Wednesday and Thursday on Park and Franklin. And there will also be a donation jar at the ice cream social. Every donation is appreciated.  Thank you!

School Supplies Donations

Another end-of-the-year tradition at Lincoln:  The Green4Good Committee collects our gently used school supplies and donates them to the Maywood School District.  If you DO NOT wish for your child’s supplies to be donated, please email Laura Maychruk (lmaychruk AT comcast.net).  Please indicate your child’s name, grade and teacher’s name.  Otherwise all supplies will be collected at the end of classes on either Wednesday, June 7, or Thursday, June 8.  Thank you for your support.
