8th Grade

The Lincoln Yearbook Club is busy planning the 2020-21 yearbook and we need your help!

Typically, Lincoln’s yearbook staff is out on the field, taking pictures of Lincoln life at nutrition, lunch, school events, classroom, etc.  Since we’re not in person, we’re asking that you send in photos of:  

• Halloween home décor & family/pet costumes
• Original student art Halloween drawings
• Distance learning home setups or pods
• Students practicing music or participating in PE or sports teams
• Students out at social distancing get-togethers

Please email photos to Ms. Katz (jkatz@smmusd.org) or Mrs. Howard (jhoward@smmusd.org). Feel free to contact them with any questions.

Thanks for helping to make the yearbook special!

2020-21 yearbook sales are open! You can order yours here.
