Camp Invention is coming to Lincoln Elementary for the 8th year the week of June 4-8 from 9AM - 3PM. Why not keep kids learning with exciting STEM activities for one more week? Kids that will enter K-6 next school year can register for a week of hands-on learning and fun. This year kids will explore self-driving cars, design future smart homes, and build and personalize robotic dogs to bring home! To register your child go to www.campinvention.org. There are only a few spots still available, so don't delay in registrations! Contact me with questions!

On Wednesday May 9th students and staff from the Middle School participated in their give back day to the community. The students and staff went to 43 different sites around the community to help with projects. They spent the morning painting, weeding, planting, mulching, and cleaning at the various sites.

We had a ton of support from the community to make the day possible. Whether it was donations of money, food, supplies or helping chaperone that day, we couldn’t have done it without you.

We would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for supporting the Middle School Orange & Black Give Back day: Federation Bank, Hills Bank, Mahaska Bottling, Fareway, Lebowski’s Rock & Bowl, WMS PIE group, CBI Bank & Trust, Kelly Smith & Family, Jennifer Turner & Family, Tricia Kroll & Family, Tad Hunt & Family, Cathy Kleese, Charla Howard & Family, Terry Kirk & Family, Don Sobaski & Family, Katie McCleary & Family, Mary Gilchrist-Brock & Family, Heather Greiner & Family, Nichole Kitchen & Family, Junalyn VanderPol & Family, Angie Janecek & Family, Kirk Bailey & Family, April Six & Family, Marcy Murphy & Family, Janet Conrad & Family, Kim Messinger & Family, Tammy LaBelle, Julie Evans, Kathleen Almelien, Sue Kinsinger, Jim Almelien, Jeanne Prochaska, Bradley Brayman and Pam Vonpongya.
