Centennial Homecoming Week is Here!
Homecoming week is here! Our student leadership group has been planning since the summer to make this week the most enjoyable time of year for our students. The theme, in honor of our centennial celebration, is Lincoln Through the Decades. There are many ways for students, staff, and families to engage at Lincoln this week.
Students, as a reminder, you must have your Lincoln Student ID to enter. You will not be able to enter your ID number or show a picture from your phone. Be responsible and have your physical ID. Go to Student Services if you have lost your ID. Let’s check out the activities for this week:
