Lincoln Unified School District 298

Thank you to the local business employees for taking the time to participate in mock job interviews with Mrs. White's senior ELA students. What a great learning experience for our seniors before they graduate! Bree McReynolds-Baetz and Kimberly Meyer, Citizens State Bank and Trust; Tami Kerth and Felecia Strahm, Lincoln County; Mitch Obermueller, Bank of Tescott; and Jyll Phillips, Lincoln Sentinel.

C. Helus and T. Spear participated in the JH PTL Music Solos Wednesday at Pike Valley. Chloe received a II(two, excellent) rating for her baritone solo, and Teryn received a II for her Alto Saxophone solo. I'm proud of both of them for the work they put in to prepare their pieces and how well they represented Lincoln.

Did you know that being involved as a volunteer in our school is a way to show students that education matters? What does it take to volunteer – a willingness to pitch in wherever you can, a commitment to giving and helping, a positive attitude, and compassion to make a lasting impression on students. If you are interested in volunteering in our schools, please reach out to us by calling either school office or the District Office. We thank you, volunteers, for all you do for our schools!

Special thanks go out today to those people that help out at our home football games - Bud DeArvil for announcing play by play details, the VFW Color Guard for posting the flags, and the “Chain Gang” for your hard work on the sidelines. Thank you for your support of our student athletes at these games!

The make-up Sylvan-Lucas/Lincoln baseball game scheduled for today, Thursday, April 25 at Lucas has been cancelled due to weather.

Volunteer Spotlight – Lincoln PTCO. Where do we begin? This newly organized group is all about supporting our school, not just financially but also with time, skills and resources. Projects this year have benefited our athletes, music, art, Summer Weights, and teachers, just to name a few. If you haven’t joined this organization, please consider it. Our district relies on people to volunteer in our schools, communities and cities to show that stepping up truly makes a difference! USD 298 genuinely appreciates our volunteers!

Lincoln hosts the JH Track Meet on Thursday, April 25, starting with Pole Vault at 12:30 pm. Stay tuned here for any changes for track meet cancellation due to weather.

Today is the perfect chance to say thank you to our Administrative Professionals (School Secretaries)! Jan and Monica – your hard work and sincerity inspire us all. We don’t say it often enough, but thank you for being a very important member of our team!

Today, let’s say thank you to the Bank of Tescott and Citizens State Bank. Employees continually commit their time to special school projects for students and staff. Thank you for your investment in our students and providing a valuable partnership with our schools!
