Dear families,
Our last full week of school is upon us! We’re looking forward to another wonderful Celebration Day on Tuesday morning — or Wednesday if Tuesday is rained out! Volunteers will be hearing from Mr. Rota soon, and parents are welcome to join us on the field to cheer and help out. Also, don’t forget that Thursday is Walk and Roll to School Day!
Congratulations to all our musicians who worked so hard this year and gave us such great performances last week — the third graders with their recorder recital on Tuesday morning, and the fourth and fifth graders at their concerts on Thursday. We hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful artwork on display at LE Arts Night as well. A big thank-you to our art and music teachers, Ms. Sutherland and Ms. Schoepflin, for everything they do!
As with each year, we have some team members who will be transitioning from Lincoln-Eliot to new ventures:
- Marlene Hole: Grade One: Retirement
- Barbara Phelan: Grade Two: Retirement
- Jason Raisner: Grade Two: will be furthering his educational career outside of Newton
- Elka Kuhlman: Math Coach: school change

The above-mentioned staff members will be greatly missed and have been instrumental in ensuring our students have received a rigorous, dynamic and fun education. Please join me in wishing them the best of luck on their journeys.
