Wednesday morning, December 19th, was a wonderfully busy morning for 2nd graders here at Lincoln School. Our performance of the holiday musical "Twinkle & Shine" was viewed by a standing-room only audience of parents and guests, as well as our 3rd graders. Everyone enjoyed the show. The entire 2nd grade class participated and did a wonderful singing, dancing and speaking their parts! It was a great way to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Congratulations!

Fun with Fathers was held at Lincoln School on December 5^th and 6^th.  Second graders had the privilege to have Mike Jones, Pastor from the First United Methodist Church read, “Don’t Squeal unless It’s a Big Deal” (Dealing with Tattling). Third grade had the privilege of having Chief Danny Langloss of the Dixon Police Department read, “Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully”  (Bully Prevention). After the story was read, students and their father/father figure were able to participate in a variety of activities set up by Jeff Masters and Brian Scheidegger, the Lincoln physical education teachers.  This was an opportunity for adults to make an impact in a child’s life while laughing and learning. We would like to thank all the adults and students who were able to come in and be with us on these two days.

Dixon Rotary Club members, along with Jefferson EarlyAct Officers, distributed dictionaries to all the 3rd Graders at Lincoln Elementary School.  Jefferson Elementary 5th Graders received thesauruses. The Dixon Rotary Club members presented over 250 dictionaries and 230 thesauri to Dixon students this past week. This project will inspire students to use words to improve written and spoken language. Thank you for investing in our students. Dixon Rotary has inspired Dixon students to be lifelong learners.

2nd and 3rd grade students from Lincoln School sang for the November School Board meeting. Students sang an encore song, "A Grateful Nation" which was orginally performed at our Veteran's Day program.   In addition to the Veteran's tribute, students shared two tunes created by music teacher Nadia Wirchnianski. Both  songs were created by our music teacher to support our positive behavior themes: Be Ready, Be Safe, Be Kind.
