Today, all of our Lincoln Lynx from kindergarten through fifth grade participated in our monthly Principal Talks! We reviewed our three school expectations: **Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible.** We also had some fun learning our NEW school cheer! Our students did a great job showing their Lincoln Lynx pride and learning what it means to be a positive member of our school community. We are excited to continue our Principal Talks each month as we focus on building a school where students feel connected, supported, and celebrated for doing the right thing! Go Lynx! 🐾

Lincoln Elementary School fifth graders publish a collaborative novel

Lincoln Elementary School fifth-grade students have completed a yearlong collaborative writing project culminating in the publication of a student-written novel, The Girl in the Garden.

Using the BoomWriter platform, students wrote one chapter at a time throughout the year, with anonymous weekly voting determining which chapter advanced the story.

The class completed 14 chapters by the end of the third quarter, then each student created an individual ending before working together for a month to revise and edit a final class version.

The project concluded with a Publishing Party, where families joined students for a book signing celebration. A printed school copy was also donated to the Lincoln ES library for future students.

Fifth-grade teacher Jordyn Connors said the experience highlighted students’ creativity and collaboration.

“There is nothing quite like seeing the imagination and collaboration occurring in a close-knit fifth-grade classroom,” said Connors. “They did not just study literature, but they worked incredibly hard to create it.”

She added that the celebration helped students see themselves as authors and storytellers with the power to impact others.

Our administrative professionals are the backbone of this district.

Their dedication, professionalism, and care for our students and staff do not go unnoticed. You are valued, you are appreciated, and this community is better because of you.

This week, we celebrate school libraries during National Library Week. Our media centers are staffed with Media Center Specialists and clerks who not only work with books but also help students in many different ways. These centers are beacons of technology that allow students to explore ways to learn beyond the pages of books. And thanks to our library staff members, whom we celebrated on April 21, National Library Workers Day. We appreciate all you do.
