Lincoln Elementary Home

Our philosophy is that to deliver a well-rounded education to our students, there must be a focus on nurturing skills of collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. The Lincoln community embraces the development of this skill set & our Lincoln mission:

Lincoln is a community where all students, staff, and families come together to develop compassionate, creative, and collaborative problem solvers able to thrive in an ever-changing world.

 

Be Safe. Be Kind. Be Ethical.

Dear Lincoln Lions,

 

Your teachers and I are resting up & spending time with our families and loved ones before we excitedly prepare for you to join us in August. We will set up all our new supplies and recess equipment - deliveries will arrive daily just for you! I hope you also have a chance to rest and enjoy time with your families.

 

I found a wonderful story for all our Lincoln Lions. I fell in love with the book as soon as I read into the first few pages. This year, will continue our work on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. We will work with our Lincoln community to reflect on ways to, "Be a Lion." Ed Vere's book sets a wonderful tone for considering what it means to be a Lion in our classrooms, our school, and the broader community. I love that Leonard loves poetry, quiet thinking, and music. Doesn't that sound like Lincoln already!?! Through this book, I hope we can work with our Lions to identify the best parts of themselves and to consider how we can reflect those qualities in our school so our kids, staff, and families feel in their hearts a strong sense of belonging at Lincoln.

 

I cannot wait to see you at the crosswalk, on the playground, and in the classroom in August!

 

Kindly,

- Mrs. Afshar
