Huge shout out and thanks to the Dream Closet organization that supported Lincoln Elementary kindergarten and first grade students with holiday clothes and gifts! It is such a treat and honor to be supported by this group of people. The Dream Closet brought their "crazy elves" and invited students to shop where the only price was that the students do something nice for someone else this holiday season! Go holiday Cats!

4th grade students in Mrs. Silverhorns class get direct instruction about Native American customs and culture from both Mrs. Silverhorn and her guest speaker and husband Talon Silverhorn. The students were very excited and engaged throughout the high quality presentations.
