AHS Key Club members enjoyed a fun day at the Senior Challenge. They helped with competitions and events for the residents. This event was hosted by Beadles Nursing Home and included several surrounding nursing homes.
Earlier this year, Lincoln was nominated for the School Character Award through POE. In February, we were interviewed by their team, and on Friday, April 10th, we were honored to be named the winners of this very prestigious award.
Emma White and Sara Eckhardt proudly represented Lincoln as they accepted the award at a beautiful ceremony. This recognition reflects the dedication and commitment of our entire school community.
At Lincoln, every staff member works hard to encourage and model strong character in both our students and one another. This award is a testament to those daily efforts and the positive culture we’ve built together.
I am incredibly proud of our students and staff. This achievement belongs to all of you who make Lincoln such a special place.
Thank you,
Jenny Webster
