This year was another successful year for the Turkey Basket Drive! Thanks to Lincoln High School, JROTC program and Mr. Medina and his family, for the help of collecting can foods and buying turkeys to feed 20 Lincoln families in need this year. A special thank you to the Lincoln Softball Program who took time off their vacation to come and stuff baskets and deliver to our Lincoln Families. Seeing the families happiness as we dropped off the baskets remind us on why have done this for so many years.
A special Thank you to Mr. Medina for taking time to build the relationships he has with his students. He Never stops caring once he clocks out. he has always been a helping hand inside and outside of school to the students and their families. Mr. Medina has been feeding families in need for the holidays for 10 plus years. Him and his family were once at the receiving end and never will he nor his family forget the joy they felt when someone put out a helping hand. We hope to keep the tradition alive for many more years to come!

 

It was great seeing Students in their costume last week as they filled the cafeteria to begin another week of YESS. As many know, Tuesdays are "homework days." The students are obligated to bring homework down and get work done that they are missing, or need help on. Some kids were looking at the clock every 5 minutes so they could run out quickly and begin to meet up with friends. While some kids, well, weren't in a rush at all!

Thursday, our students work on our time capsule. We like to give the students our time capsule questionnaire sheet that asks questions such as "are they motivated for school", "what they are most excited about right now", "list goals they would like to accomplish by the end of the school year", and so on. We know our students haven't thought about these questions yet, because as we know they're still learning how to be a student again in the classrooms. What we want them to see is the change in themselves from the beginning of the school year til the end. We put these questions in an envelope and will give it back to them at the end of the school year so they could read and reflect on the kid they once were at the beginning of the school year.
