Students, staff, and community members are invited to come participate in the book walk outside of the building of Lincoln. Through a grant provided by the Schermer DiYorio Foundation, we were able to install a temporary book display around the building. The first featured book is “Snowman at Night” by Caralyn Buehner. The first book includes 14 signs to read and different physical activities to complete. Ms. Babik and Mrs. Selak wanted students, staff, and community to have the ability to get outdoors, enjoy reading, and have some fun.

Pride Pals is an extension of the classroom Social Emotional Learning program. Seventh and eighth grade students meet with kids in Kindergarten through third grade every Monday. They help their student make with goal setting, making good choices and  developing healthy relationships.

Last week, pride pals got together in the library for game time. Cooperative play is a great way to reinforce all of the skills that students learn through SEL.
