Lincoln Elementary School
Thank You WCRF! PDF Print E-mail

Thanks the to Washington Community School District and the Washington County Riverboat Foundation for the grant that improved safety and accessibility for the bus lane at Lincoln Elementary! This project has improved our buildings safety for all students, staff, and community members that come into our building. With the new graded slope those that are wheelchair bound or have physical limitations can now access transportation out front without the risk of being hurt due to the curb. This change has also improved the aesthetics to the building, which was a benefit that we weren’t anticipating. Thanks to the WCRF for partnering with us to make this project possible.
