So much has happened in the Lincoln Public Schools since our last newsletter that we’ve found ourselves in the happy position of having so much to report, we almost don’t have room for it all. Last spring was an especially exciting signal of what’s to come.
We funded grants totaling nearly $60,000 for 2019-2020, including two very exciting, long in the works, district grants. And we had the great pleasure of supporting an exciting venture by the Brooks sixth grade teachers: a mini-expedition at the tail end of the last school year, inspired by their visit to King Middle School in Portland, Maine. The teachers were nimble, unafraid to fail, and excited to roll up their sleeves and give it a try. Students rose to the challenge as enthusiastic participants in what was, in truth, a big experiment. And the result? It was a huge success! We are so excited about their work, and thank Sharon Hobbs, Principal at Brooks, for her help and encouragement in pulling it together.
