This past Wednesday, we got to celebrate our amazing student leaders at the third annual Community Schools Leadership Retreat! ✨

Our 5th Grade Ambassadors joined students from other community schools across the county for a day of team building activities, motivational speakers, and lots of fun! We are so proud of the positive growth our students have made this year, and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them as they level up!

Yesterday some of our 5th Grade students took a trip to Grounded Print Shop with our art teacher Mrs. Groner. Students got to make their own paper and try several different art techniques. Students earned this art enrichment experience by helping one of our younger classes during their art sessions throughout the year.

We're so grateful to United Way whose funding made this possible and to Grounded Print Shop for giving our students such a unique expereince.

Mrs. Nielsen’s first grade class demonstrated their CKLA knowledge of the American Revolution with their living museum. Students completed research then portrayed a history american figure. They had so much fun learning!

Don't Miss a Day in May!

We're entering the final stretch of the school year. These last weeks are full of valuable instruction, end of year projects, celebrations, and preparation for the next grade level.

It's more important than ever that students are present, engaged, and ready to learn each day. Together, we can make sure May is a month full of growth and learning!

Kindergarten made butter and became weavers for their Colonial Towns and Tradespeople culminating activity!

This Autism Acceptance Month we recognize that we all learn differently and that’s okay. Students with autism may have differences in their attention/sensory needs, communication, movement, regulation, interests/strengths, and understanding.

On Monday we celebrated our April Lincoln Lion Leaders! These students show what it means to ROAR everyday - Respect others, On task, Always safe, and Responsible. Families were invited to join us to celebrate their students. Keep up the great work Lincoln Lions!

Save the dates for our Spring Concerts!
