This school year is just zipping by. I hope everyone was able to squeeze in some quality family time over Spring Break. Our students came back enthusiastic and ready for the last few months of school.
Plans are well underway for the next school year. I would like to invite you to attend the May 16th PTA meeting to learn about the work that has been done thus far in preparation for the 2013-14 school year. The PTA meeting will start at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the Old Gym at Lincoln.

Learner Characteristic of the Month
This month we are focusing on the Learner Characteristic: Respectful of Others. Our morning announcements will be centered on acts of kindness, anti-bullying, and ways to demonstrate respect. The paper umbrellas hung in the glass hallways are starting to fill up with little notes written by students after they witness others demonstrating this characteristic. Please help us build this characteristic in students by drawing attention to others demonstrating this characteristic on television, in the community, and in your home.
