Character trait for May is Helpfulness! Like the crossing guards for our school you can be helpful by being a teacher helper, picking up after yourselves and others at home, classroom, playground and cafeteria. We all

can be helpful in saving money for our school by not wasting paper (always use both sides), turning off lights and equipment when not in use, and recycling. Lincoln Park has great students and over 100 Lion Leaders we all can be proud of. Thank you to all who

make Lincoln Park a great school by being helpful!

Congratulations to Roman M. in Mrs. Camp’s class he passed Type to Learn 4.

Lion Leaders

Lincoln Park Lion Leaders is a self-manager program that encourages and recognizes Grades K-5 students who consistently practice responsible, good citizenship behavior at school. The following students have earned their Lincoln Park Lion Leaders wristbands:

Emilio H. Remember I. Mariela U. Angelina N. Ree L. Tessa D. Dickchya C. Erblin V. Aisha D. Kylla S. Karina N. Rachel K. Issac R. Tran D. Ella B. Payton E.  Students  in  3rd,  4th  and  5th  grade  have  been  taking  a  test  that  is  intended  to  measure  their  achievement  in  the  areas  of  reading  and  math.      It  is  important  that  students  and  families  take  the  test  seriously  and  do  all  they  can  to  be  prepared.    Here  are  some  helpful  hints  for  parents:  

•  Make  sure  your  child  gets  plenty  of  sleep  each  night.    

       •  A  healthy  breakfast  is  a  must  for  good  brain  power.  

•  Discuss  the  test  with  your  child  to  ease  their  anxiety.    Let  them  know  that  you  know  they  will  not  be  able  to  answer  every  question  perfectly,  but  that  they  should  try  their  best. Thank you for your support in making the testing process a positive one for your child.
