We are in need of a nurse to attend our four-day, three-night overnight trip to D.C. with the 8th grade class. The trip will run Tuesday, May 26 through Friday, May 29. The cost to attend would be covered by the district. If you are a nurse or know of one that may be able to help us out, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

Lincoln Reps and New Athletic Director 

In his role as wellness teacher, Mr. Trant has initiated a new before-school wellness program for students in grades 5-8 called Lincoln Reps. Students can find sign up sheets in the main office or in the gym lobby. See the picture for details.

In a somewhat related note, Mr. Trant has also taken over as our new athletic director. You’ll likely see him about for the winter season basketball games, so be sure to say hello.
