Backpacks
Thanks to our partnership with Cradles to Crayons, every student will be receiving a backpack on September 7th for grades 1-4 and September 11th for our Kindergarteners. While we know most students love to pick out their own backpacks, it is always handy to have an extra just in case! Thank you Cradles to Crayons!
LH Updates
There has been a lot of work happening here at Lincoln Hancock! We have built an additional classroom on our 3rd floor as well as a new English Learner Classroom on our 1st floor.
