Lincoln Elementary School -

What a day! The 73rd Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade filled downtown with music, school spirit, and community pride this past weekend!

This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨

A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.

It’s a great day to be a Lincoln Lynx!

Thanks to your generosity in our fall fundraiser, our students earned a special prize today, touch a truck day! Today, students had the chance to explore and climb aboard some amazing vehicles, meet community helpers, and enjoy a hands-on learning experience. We are so grateful for the support of our families and community that made this reward possible.

Tru-Green will be spraying for weeds on Monday, September 15 across the district.

Flags at all district buildings will fly at half-staff today in honor of Patriot Day. #202proud

Cheers to Plainfield North High School juniors Arianna Olivares and Ella Dwyer for being true Earth heroes. On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, they visited Lincoln Elementary to lead an Earth Day presentation for the kindergarten through second grade students. As participants in the Climate Leaders Fellowship, run by the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab and Rustic Pathways Foundation, these inspiring juniors are spreading awareness about climate change and empowering our youngest students to take action.

Happy Assistant Principals Week! This week, we celebrate our incredible assistant principals who provide unwavering dedication and exceptional service to our school district. “Each day, you navigate countless responsibilities with remarkable skill and grace – supporting your principals, empowering our teachers, motivating our students, and creating positive learning environments where everyone can thrive,” said District 202 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn Wood. Thank you!
