While we love seeing students attend our school activities, Lincoln’s Open House evening is designed for parents only. There will be a significant amount of new information shared by teachers and the district.
Scouts is a great way for your daughter to make new friends and learn leadership skills! It’s not just cookies, crafts, and camping—it’s also about courage, confidence, and character. Our contemporary curriculum supports STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), the arts, ecological awareness, social action and more. Troops meet by grade at Lincoln but we do occasional school-wide activities too. Registration starts now for the 2014-15 school year. Please contact your grade-level leaders for more information!

Kindergarten Daisies: Your daughter’s troop starts with you! You only need 5 girls and 2 adults to form a new troop. The troop stays together as they move up in school.
