Accolades @ Lincoln
Thanks to Susan LaFree, Leah Trost, Maddie Wohlfert, and Betsy Bowen for organizing our February Spirit Assembly. We have one more to go on the19th of March.
Kudos to our Math department for continuing to help students become better at problem solving and seeing higher level questions. Specifically kudos to Matt Harter for being relentless to these two goals. Upon observation this past week students in Matt's classes could be seen doing higher level work using their CUBES, determining which answer are correct, discussing why certain answers were not.
