PAW PRIDE WINNERS WEEK #6

“PAWS”ITIVE AWARDS

Congratulations to Mrs. Gerloff's and Miss Bichler’s classes for being the PAWSitive Award winners in the month of September. Not only

did these classes earn a Staff vs. Student kickball game, they also have the "PAWSitively PAWsome" signs hanging outside of their rooms

for the whole school to see! Great job, and keep up the great work!

READING CALENDAR UPDATE Our Lincoln Lions have had a marvelous

beginning to the school year with their reading calendars! The whole

school read a total of 5,510 days during the month of September, which is

an outstanding start! Congratulations to Miss Nett's classroom for leading

the school with an average of 25.6 days read per student! Mrs. Gall's class

had the second highest average with 22.8 days read per student! The

more they read, the more raffle tickets classes will receive for the chance

to win ice cream parties, prizes, and other fun incentives! Thank you for

encouraging your children to keep reading, and please remind them to

turn in their October reading calendar to their classroom teacher

by Monday, November 6th.

October Lunch Menu Click on the link above to see the menu. Lincoln and TJMS will

have the same hot lunch menu this year. When looking at the

menu, the underlined items will be the only main entree served at

Lincoln on those particular days.

Please be sure to pack a change of clothes in your child’s backpack. An extra shirt, pair of sweatpants, and pair of socks are very helpful in

case of run-ins with puddles at recess or milk spills at lunch. We have a very limited supply of items to loan, and when we run out, we will need to phone a parent to get dry clothing.

BOOK FAIR, OPEN-HOUSE, SILENT AUCTION AND YELLOWBELLIES

Miss Pride

Hello Lincoln Families!

It is hard to believe that October is here! I don’t know

about you, but I am ready for some pumpkin picking, leaf

piles, and sweater weather!

It has been so wonderful getting to know all of the students here

at Lincoln in my guidance classes. They have really impressed me with

their kindness, respectful behavior, and excitement for

learning!

This month, we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week!

For more than 20 years, Red Ribbon Week has

been a time to encourage healthy lifestyles and teach

students about the dangers of drugs. It has grown to be the nation’s

largest anti-drug endeavor. At the elementary level, the focus is

primarily on making positive lifestyle choices, including eating healthful

foods, reading, attending school, exercising, and so forth. We also

address issues such as drugs, alcohol, and smoking, especially with

students in the upper elementary grades.

Red Ribbon week is celebrated nationally, from October 23rd - 27th and in an effort to promote its message and encourage our very own

Lincoln Lions to take on a positive, healthy, and respectful lifestyle, we

have organized a special event for each day of Red Ribbon Week. Please

encourage and help your child(ren) to participate every day!

Please see the back of this sheet for each day’s event! Each day, we will count how many students participated in each class

and the winning class will receive a special prize!

The students always seem to enjoy this week and I certainly hope

this year is no exception. Thank you in advance for helping your child

understand the importance of positive and healthy choices and providing

him/her with the opportunity to participate in our elementary Red Ribbon

activities. I can’t wait to see the participation!

Sincerely,

Monday
