Dear Lincoln School Community,
On Wednesday, our 3rd and 4th grade students put on a terrific concert to usher in the spring season. A combination of recorder-playing by our 3rd graders, select renditions by our 4th Grade Chorus, and songs by all students in both grade levels, led to not just one, but two amazing performances. A huge thank you to Mrs. Panzitta for directing our talented students.
Parents of 5th grade students, please note that there has been an extension of the deadline for the registration of the Fairview Lakes YMCA trip for incoming 6th grade students. The due date is now Wednesday, April 15th. Forms and payment may be dropped off in the red box outside the main office.
On Wednesday, April 8th, we ask that all grade 5 students wear their 5th grade t-shirts to school, as we will be taking a class photo for the Memory Book. The photo will be taken right after the start of the day, so prompt attendance is requested on this date.
Congratulations to our students for meeting the “Lincoln Loves Reading” monthlong challenge! Students read the equivalent of the combined heights of all the staff members as Lincoln School during the month of March, and earned a special reward, which was announced at a Schoolwide Closing Circle this past Tuesday. Students earned an outdoor lunch with ice pops, which will be held in May. Great reading, Lincoln Lions!
Finally, I wish a Happy Passover and Happy Easter to all those in the Lincoln School community who are celebrating!
Sincerely,
Patrick Lee
Principal

Growth mindset is the belief that abilities can grow through effort and practice. Research shows that the way we think about potential, and the messages we share with children, can profoundly shape their success. Join us for this seminar to discover simple, practical ways to encourage and empower your child to embrace challenges, build resilience, and develop a growth mindset in learning and life.

“TEAM UP TO TIDY UP” LITTER CLEAN UP DAY:
The Wyckoff Environmental Commission is proud to celebrate our town’s 100-year Centennial by hosting its annual Team Up to Tidy Up town-wide litter cleanup on Saturday, April 25, 2026. We would like to invite all Wyckoff students to participate in this spring litter cleanup event, sponsored by the Environmental Commission and the NJ Clean Communities.
NJ Clean Communities, who helps to sponsor our cleanup, is partnering with Keep America Beautiful, a national organization, for their Great American Cleanup and is asking volunteers to take the GREATEST AMERICAN CLEANUP PLEDGE. We can take this pledge by working together to make our town and neighborhoods more beautiful to celebrate Wyckoff’s 100-year Centennial and in time for America’s 250th Birthday on July 4, 2026. And to help us to achieve this goal we are hoping to get at least 250 community volunteers to join us that day. This is a great opportunity for students to be recognized for their community service.
If you would like any further information, please email (Denise Capparelli) wec@wyckoffnj.gov or call me at 201-891-7000 ext.1180 for more information. If they cannot attend the event, we encourage you to help spread the message that keeping our environment litter-free reduces pollution, protects our waterways, and creates a cleaner, safer space for everyone. And remember—littering is against the law. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, April 25!
