📚 Third Grade Reading Buddies!❤️☀️📖 Lincoln Third Graders visited preschoolers at Bright Beginnings today as reading buddies. Bigs were able read with Littles and then enjoy some time learning through play! What a great opportunity to build relationships, promote early literacy, connect our schools, take care of others, and best yet….for kids to be kids! We’re so thankful for this partnership with Bright Beginnings and the incredible pre-k teachers and staff there!☀️❤️ 💡

Douglas students have been collecting money for the past several weeks and the grand total is in... $3,332.00 has been raised to help improve the landscaping around the building. Custodian Bob Espel challenged the students to see which class could raise the most money and offered to let the top class shave his beard, and the runner up to help shave his head! While Mrs. Richard's class ended up in first place, Mrs. Pinter's in second, and Mrs. Caldwell's in third, we think every student ended up winning this challenge. All proceeds will go towards new landscaping around the Douglas building, with the first round of plantings to take place with students present this Thursday, May 23rd. The famous beard will be shaved on Wednesday, May 22nd.
On May 6th, my mom's were able to come in and hang out with their child and have donuts for about 30 minutes.
