LINCOLN SCIENCE NIGHT
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20th
Science Night is a Lincoln PTA-sponsored activity open to all Lincoln families and all age groups.
The evening starts with our Science Fair (6:15 pm – 7:00 pm) in the Multi-Purpose Room. This year, 65 students from 4th and 5th grade have put together 36 different exhibits (wow!) and will be on hand to answer questions about their projects. Come see the results of a lot of hard work and imagination!
Mad Science (7:00 pm – 7:45 pm) will then present “Up, Up and Away” in the Gym. Always entertaining and educational, Mad Science’s presentation this year will focus on air pressure, hot air balloons and related “stuff.” The show will start promptly at 7:00 pm, so don’t be late!
Hands On Stations (7:45 pm onward). At the end of the evening, students can go around to 10-12 “hands-on” science stations around the Gym. These stations allow kids the opportunity to learn more about the concepts presented and are a lot of fun!
Spring Weather
As the weather becomes nicer, we start to see more students walking or riding bikes to school. We encourage families to have students walk or ride bikes to school. However, there are some expectations we have once students arrive on school premises. When walking to school students should use the crosswalks with crossing guards to cross the street. If the whole family walks together, please remember that dogs are not allowed on school property. If a student rides their bike to school, please remind them that they must walk their bikes on school premises and to be sure to lock bicycles to the bike rack. We also strongly encourage the use of helmets for students riding bicycles. There have been cases where unlocked bicycles have been stolen. Rollerblades, skateboards and scooters are not allowed at school.
FROM THE MUSIC ROOM
The PTA sponsored drummer, Doug Brush, leads 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in a world drumming demonstration on Tuesday, June 2nd at 7pm.
FROM THE NURSE’S OFFICE
Please continue to check your child’s head at least once a week. If you find anything, please report it to Ms. Mendoza.
