Lincoln School students participated in the Kid's Warrior Challenge to raise awareness and collect donations for the American Heart Association. They were able to raise $4,921.37! The 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students had some friendly team competitions in Keep It Up, Tic Tac Toe Race, and Dodgeball. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students challenged themselves at stations... Keep It Up, Squash the Bug, Tic Tac Toe Toss, and Obstacle Course. They learned about special hearts and the importance of keeping our hearts healthy through healthy habits and exercise.
