On Tuesday, October 31st, Lincoln School students will parade in their costumes beginning at 2:15 p.m. along Bennett Avenue. Prior to the parade, classrooms will have their Halloween parties. After parading in their costumes, they will return to their classrooms. Parents in attendance may sign their child out following the parade. Students not signed out will remain in their classroom until the usual dismissal time. Students should not wear their costumes to school. There will be time to change into costumes prior to the parade. Please be sure that costumes do not depict violence - no play knives, guns, sharp objects, and no gory costumes depicting blood or violence. Students who do not follow these guidelines will not be allowed to participate in the parade.
The Day of Awesomeness scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 27th, has been postponed due to the weather conditions. It will be rescheduled for a later date.

Oh no! Mrs. Zimmer's ELA Grey class was visiting a haunted house with friends when they accidentally took a wrong turn and got lost! In order for them to escape, they had to solve each challenge and figure out the clue. The clues from the challenges would lead them to the exit!
The first group that escaped was Laney and Jett!
