Nutley Public School District

Dear Lincoln School Family,

     It is hard to believe that summer is upon us and our school year is over.  This is an exciting time of year that always brings with it a mixture of happiness, excitement, sadness, satisfaction, and relief.  We said good-bye to our graduating sixth graders, Miss Griffin, Mrs. Milunaitis and all the wonderful experiences that have filled our memories over the past ten months.

     On behalf of all of Lincoln School, I would like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our PTO and all of the people who gave endless hours of their time to help the children, staff, and school this year.  Every ounce of effort, dime of support, and minute of your time has helped to make our school a better place.

     For those people who like a head start on preparations for the new school year, the teachers have posted a general list of supplies needed for their grades in September.  In addition, the Summer Reading List is posted for your convenience.  Please remember that each child entering grades 4-6 is required to read three (3) books from this list by the first day of school in September.

     As you make your plans for the summer's exciting trips and activities, remember to include fun activities that involve learning, like trips to the library.  Keep safety first in your outdoor activities: wear life vests, helmets, knee pads, and sunscreen for protection.

     Best of luck to our graduating sixth graders as they move on to the middle school.  May you all reach your goals.  We look foward to hearing great things about you in the future.

     I would like to extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes to our retiring teachers Miss Patricia Griffin and Mrs. Lorraine Milunaitis.  their combined seventy years of experience has touched the lives of countless students and their families.  We wish them all the best and hope they will enjoy a long and relaxing retirement.  They will truly be missed.

     In closing, thank you for all of your continued support.  I hope that something we have done or a conversation we may have had will be a pleasurable experience for years to come.  Parents, hug your children.  Spend time with them and bring them back to us in September rested, safe, and excited to share their adventures.  We will be waiting with open arms!  Enjoy!!

Mrs. Restel
