Fund Raising Opportunities

Thank you for your generosity over the years with our school fundraising efforts!  The money raised during these events help pay for school supplies, field trips, technology, trophies, and other items.  Lincoln’s annual Jog-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 28^th.  As some of you know I enjoy running, and I can’t think of a better fundraiser than one that helps promote a healthy lifestyle.  More information coming soon!  I can’t wait!!!

This year we will continue our Box Tops program.  Throughout the year we participate in the General Mills Box Tops for education program.  Box Tops are worth at least ten cents each and sometimes more.  If you purchase items with the Box Tops logo, please cut them out and send them to school with your student.  Each classroom has a collection jar.

2^nd Grade Spotlight – Ms. Warkentin’s Class

The year is off to an extraordinary start in room 15! We are diving right into our consumer and producer unit within the next couple of days. During this unit students are going to be learning that food is made by the producers and it is then bought by the consumers. In the coming weeks this unit is going to take us on our first field trip to downtown Kingsburg and our local grocery store, Save Mart. During this trip the students will get a first-hand account on how food enters the store and gets put onto the shelves so that consumers are able to shop. It is going to be a great learning experience for all. The students and I are looking forward to the rest of the year and all of the fun activities!

3^rd Grade Spotlight – Miss. Sembritzki’s Class

Room 23 has been hard at work! We had a great time kicking off the school year with Passport Day!  During passport day, we toured the school and learned how to S.O.A.R. in the cafeteria, hallways, bathrooms, playground, library and classroom.  We ended our first week with a talk about our character trait of the month, trustworthiness.  Together as a class, we decided that a trustworthy person is reliable, honest, does the right thing, is loyal to family and friends, and does not lie or cheat.  We are hoping to use this knowledge to show all of our peers at Lincoln how trustworthy we can be!
