Lincoln PK-8 students used chalk to draw on the sidewalks during teacher appreciation week to leave messages of thanks to their teachers.

Students drew colorful pictures and expressions of gratitude such as “thank you” and “you’re the best” on the sidewalks that circle the entire building.

This initiative was just one example of how Lincoln PK8 school administrators and its students took time out to express their gratitude for the Lincoln teachers.

Fifth-grade students put their creativity into action recently by making ornaments.

However, this wasn’t just a “crafting” project, it was an opportunity to combine creativity with active listening, following directions and learning cooperatively.

Students worked together in small groups to discover new concepts and to help each other learn.

With bright eyes and smiles on their faces, PK-3 students exclaimed in excitement as they entered Lincoln’s first HOLIDAY MASHUP MAGICAL EVENT.

The brain-child event of Lincoln art teachers Judy Babik and Lisa Scavnicky- Mamula, librarian Jill Selak  and computer teacher Mary Olesky.Mashup was held Friday, Dec. 16, 2021, at Lincoln PK-8 School.

The vision was for the PK-3 students to experience a Kraynak’s-like atmosphere. The thought behind the event was also to celebrate the holiday season, but in a same manner.

The Lincoln Climate committee met to discuss how the event could take place and what “elves” would be needed to pull off such a celebration.

Students in NJHS, Student Council, The Yearbook Club and various art classes helped to make decorations for the stage and put up all items for the event. Kevin McCarty played Santa Claus and his trusty elf was Brianna Rzucidlo. As one second grader said, “It was magical.”

By creating spinning wheels, Lincoln’s kindergarten students were able to explore what happens to their surroundings when the seasons change.

Spinning the wheel to the next section, they could see how their tree leaves and branches changed during winter spring, summer and fall.

The lesson incorporated arts integration into reading and writing activities. It is among several activities taking place across Warren’s four PK-8 schools through the district’s partnership with Any Given Child and the Kennedy Center.
