Dear Lincoln School Community,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and that the new year is off to a great start for you and your families. Here at Lincoln, students have reconnected as classroom communities and are settling back into their routines. I’m looking forward to a terrific 2026 for all of our Lincoln Lions!
We have a number of fun events planned for the upcoming weeks. On Tuesday, January 13th, our Fifth Grade Lincoln School Advanced Band members will perform their first instrumental concert of the year. Students in grades K-3 will attend the 10:00 am performance, and parents and guests along with our students in grades 4 and 5 will attend the 2:00 pm performance. On Thursday, January 22nd, we will be hosting our annual PTO Military Bridge event, which will take place in the Lincoln School gym. I look forward to seeing many of our parents in attendance, and thank the PTO in advance for their hard work in organizing this evening.
The intramural scooter football season is in full swing here at Lincoln School, with our students looking forward to “Scooter Bowl 32” in a month or so! I am thrilled that so many of our 4th and 5th graders not only participate in scooter football, but also want to come watch the games as spectators. Please note that in order to ensure that all students are supervised, any student spectators (this does not include players of that day’s game) must be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone. This may include a parent, grandparent, babysitter, family friend/neighbor, etc. I want our students to enjoy the wonderful games played at Lincoln after school, but most importantly want to ensure that they are safe and looked after in case of an emergency or other need. Again, this does not apply to players - those participating in that day’s game are under the supervision of Mr. Patanella and Mr. White. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding, and please reach out to me with any questions.
The next Family Connection Series presentation sponsored by the Wyckoff Curriculum Council will be held on Tuesday, February 3rd at 7pm at Eisenhower Middle School. This session, entitled Raising Resilience, will explore resiliency--what it is, the factors that contribute to resiliency, and how parents can grow resiliency in their children.
