Happy New Year Lincoln Park Families,

As February approaches, please find the following information helpful.


Good News:

  • Today, we celebrated positive behaviors in our monthly CREW assembly.  Students were recognized for their positive behaviors in and out of the classroom. As a way to celebrate the successful month of school, all CREW members will take part in a winter art project.

  • We had a great week bringing attention to our Be Nice initiative at Lincoln Park. Students enjoyed extra Be Nice lessons as well as dressing up for spirit week. It was truly a great week!
