🍵We have some tea to spill!
Yesterday, 5th-grade students at Lincoln Elementary School participated in the Shakespeare Residency Performance program that is led by Marquis Wallace. This program works with Anansi Collaborations to align with what students are learning in class and put it into practice on stage. Students were able to pretend that they were on a show called "Spill that Tea" and act. The joy and excitement these students had was unexplainable.
Thank you to Anansi Collaborations for partnering with Lincoln Elementary School to provide our students with a hands-on experience and to "spill some tea". 😉









THANK YOU to the many members of our village who elevated their voices to help us sharpen our focus and define our path ahead: Staff. Students. Parents. Business leaders and community partners. You ALL own a piece of our future, and it’s up to all of us to turn this plan into action. We’re developing an implementation plan to do just that.
