This week in Garden Club, our students were able to help plant our new native plant garden in front of the school!
Native plants are especially important because they are particularly suited to support our local ecosystem, including providing food for native pollinators.
Students learned about native plants and then enjoyed planting lots of new plants in the garden. We can't wait to see how beautiful our garden is next Spring!
Huge thank you to the Penn State Master Gardeners and Ms.Kristen from Erie County Conservation District for their help with this project!
Congratulations to our newest 5th Grade Ambassadors! These 5th grade students underwent an application process and were selected to be leaders of our school. Throughout the year these students will learn from various community leaders, develop their leadership skills, engage in service projects, and help with family events at Lincoln.
We can't wait to see all they accomplish!

This September, during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Erie's Public Schools is reminding our whole community: a mental health crisis deserves the same response as any other emergency. You don't need to be a therapist — you just need to notice, reach out, and get help.
A.C.T. if you're worried about someone:
Ask — Start the conversation. Be direct, and listen without judgment.
Care — Show you care. Stay close and keep them connected.
Tell — Bring in a trusted adult or trained professional.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is always available: 📞 Call or text 988 — free, confidential, 24/7 📱 Safe2Say Something: 1-844-SAF2SAY ☎️ Erie Crisis Line: 814-456-2014 🏫 Talk to a school counselor, mental health specialist, or any trusted staff member

Lincoln Lions Love to Read!
This year is the Year of Reading at Lincoln Elementary. We will be incorporating reading into all that we do this year.
We're starting the year off with our Grandparent Breakfast and Bookfair this week. Today was PreK-1, tomorrow is 2nd-3rd grade, and Thursday is 4th-5th grade,
By parent request, we will also be adding a family component to our monthly Books with Bankers events. On the second Friday of each month, our Corporate Partner Volunteers from PNC, Erie Federal Credit Union, Marquette, Northwest, and ERIEBANK, will join classrooms to read a story. Families are invited to join us beginning at 8am for a short information session on the power of reading with your child and some strategies for supporting your child's literacy skills. Then families will join their students to hear the story, and will have the chance to choose a free book to take home to read with their child.
Each class also has the goal of reading 100 books or chapters by the 100th day of school. We'll have a school-wide celebration on the 200th day to celebrate. Be sure to ask your child what their class has been reading!
Our friends at Metz are hiring additional team members to work concessions for all team sports throughout the school year. Locations include Vet's Stadium, Biletnikoff Field, and Erie High Gym.
