Dear Lincoln Families:
As we approach the holiday break and the end of 2011, it is appropriate to reflect on what we have accomplished and to look ahead at what we still must do.
During the past months, while our primary focus has been in the classroom and on after school instruction, we have also enhanced the educational experience with a variety of other programs and activities. In October, we held the annual Lincoln Walkathon to raise money for African AIDS orphans. This month, Assistant Principal Janette Swanson organized College Week for our eleventh grade students, the Academy of Finance organized a wonderful Winter Extravaganza, and the Arts Academy performed an inspiring Holiday Concert.
During January we will face an important milestone--the New York State Regents exams. It is our goal to prepare all students to pass their Regents exams on the first attempt. We at Lincoln will be intensifying our efforts to achieve this goal. It is important that students maintain good attendance and take full advantage of the many opportunities for after school help to get ready for this challenge.
I wish you a wonderful holiday and a productive and prosperous New Year.
Respetuosamente,
Edwin M. Quezada
Principal
