3rd Grade Parents are invited to our annual 3rd grade Legacy Wall Reveal! This usually takes place earlier in the year, but like everything else in our world, the tiles took longer than normal to be delivered. Here is the plan: WHEN: Wednesday, May 4, 1:15 pm WHERE: Lincoln Elementary Cafeteria (enter through the front doors of the school; a volunteer badge is NOT required) WHAT: We will be revealing the tiles the 3rd graders created in Ms. Sorensen's art class. Their goal: Because they are leaving in a few weeks, she challenged them to create something that will leave their legacy behind after they are gone. There will be a short revealing ceremony, and we will then have ice cream sundaes, courtesy of our Lincoln P.E.P. Everyone is invited to attend, but we also know this is during the middle of the work day. We will livestream the event on our LES Facebook page, and it will be archived for future viewing.
