We had a wonderful showing with 7 student teams and 1 staff team competing for first place!
What is BOB? - Students are placed on teams of up to 4 people. Their job is to read 20 books and be prepared to answer questions on them. They learn to take notes, pay attention to details, problem solve and work as a team. Teams were created right around Thanksgiving with team meetings taking place in December, January and early February. Each building then hosts a Battle in which the teams compete against each other to be the TOP DOGS in their building.
Our top three teams were -
FIRST - The BOB Cats - last year's champions (28 points)
Zander Christon, Grace Chen, Keaton Kachel, and Elliot Christensen
SECOND - Angry Owls - (22 points)
Sean Callahan, Sawyer Natvig, Pierce Gomez, and Noah Virgo
THIRD - Book Dragons - (20 points)
Nellie Tincher, Brayleigh Rux, Ana Oezer, and Harper Wojtkunski
Thank you also to the Dream Team who kept the students entertained and who did get the most points at 31!- Rachel McAdams, Shannon Frye, Lisa Kaminski, and Jill Bergman
Our first place team will take the STATE test the week of February 23rd, against 253 other teams in the state!

The Annual Lincoln Read-A-Thon is kicking off January 5th, right when we return from winter break—and we can’t wait! In the next day or two, your child will bring home a sheet with simple steps to help you set up their personal reading dashboard, where they’ll track all their reading minutes.
We encourage families to take a few minutes over break to get the dashboard set up so your reader is ready to hit the ground running on Monday, January 5th. Let the reading fun begin! 📖✨

December 15th-19th


Register now as space is limited!


Please be sure your child comes with appropriate winter gear each day—coats, hats, gloves, boots, and snow pants. We go outside for recess every day unless the temperature is 0° or below, so warm clothing is essential. Thank you for helping keep our kids safe and comfortable!
