•The Grace Theater•
✨Home of Festival 56✨
Students had the BEST time bringing learning to LIFE thanks to the amazing partnership with The Grace Theater. After studying a unit on plays and dramas, students were able to make text to world connections through this incredible opportunity. They learned about the theater’s history, sound and light effects, elements of drama, stage directions, and so much more! Even a few of us got to be ON STAGE for some real life action!
Lincoln is beyond thankful to Maureen, Jim, and Michael, and everyone at Festival 56 for the informative, engaging, and behind the scenes experience! Partnerships like these are so invaluable to our schools and our students, so thank you!
Did your child love the field trip? Be on the lookout for the Camp 56 flyer that came home for their awesome summer camp! ✨🎤🎭

♻️💚 Trash to Treasure!💚♻️
Third grade students have been learning all about recycling and the difference that each person can make in our world. In connection with this study, students developed incredible “Trash to Treasure” projects where they took recycled trash and turned it into useful and unique items. They also developed a visual presentation to present their projects to their peers.
Finally, in honor of this project and Earth Day, third graders welcomed family and friends to tour their “Trash to Treasure” creations!♻️🌎
What an amazingly green and creative project! We are so thankful to all of the family and friends who were able to attend this incredible learning experience! Your children were SO excited to show off their hard work! Thank you for your continued support of Lincoln and all of our students!

Thank you SO much to the Princeton Public School Foundation and our music teacher, Mrs. Robinson, for such a wonderful and engaging musical experience!
Opera For The Young, based out of Madison, Wisconsin, returned to Lincoln School again this year! Third and fourth grade students enjoyed and participated in the entertaining opera, The Magic Flute. The performance was complete with a student choir from Lincoln, student and staff actors, a magical dragon, and lots of laughs! We couldn’t be more grateful for this educational opportunity and the chance to bring music and acting to life for our students! 🎶🎼🎵🎤
Lincoln was SO excited to be invited to Logan to tour the Wax Museum developed by Logan students! Students were “in character” as their famous person and were frozen until activated by a button our students were able to press. Once activated, they shared important and engaging information about the individual that they researched! Look at all those amazing smiles!
Thank you Logan for inviting us to this incredible experience. Our students absolutely LOVED it and learned SO much! Way to make learning FUN! ✨⭐️ ❤️☀️Team Lincoln

Princeton Elementary welcomes Mr. Joey Horn to Lincoln Elementary. Mr. Horn comes to us from Oak View Elementary in Bolingbrook, IL and will be taking over for Mrs. Kylee Gutshall who has taken a new position with Princeton High School.
Third and fourth graders at Lincoln Elementary had fun watching their eggs be thrown from a bucket truck and hoping they survived! Students spent Monday morning, working in groups, to construct a durable container to house and protect their eggs. Some eggs survived the plunge, while others became scrambled!
