Principal Update 3.18.19

Dear families,

The staff at Lincoln Eliot wanted to draw everyone’s attention to World Down Syndrome Day coming up this Thursday, March 21, 2019.

One way Down Syndrome International is bringing awareness and getting people talking about Down Syndrome is by encouraging everyone to wear “Lots of Socks.” If you have any sort of bright/colorful/long/printed socks… even 3 pairs for 3 chromosomes, please wear them on Thursday!

Please note that Thursday is also an early release day, with pickup for everyone at 12:30pm.

Also coming up soon, we’ll be having our Lincoln-Eliot Math Morning on Thursday, April 4th, from 8:20-8:50am, when you are invited to join your child’s classroom for a math activity guided by your child.  Come see the math curriculum in action!
