Welcome to the 2021-22 Yearbook! What a year it has been! This year’s Yearbook team has chosen an interesting idea in their theme for this Yearbook:- the“Diary of a Lincoln Lion''. A diary is a book of someone’s account of daily life. Dairies can be procedural or narrative, they can be organisers or reflective accounts, they can express emotions or thoughts; in fact diaries can be anything the owner wants them to be. I know people who write in a dairy every day, and others who journal about their thoughts and opinions when the need arises. I love the idea that this Yearbook will be seen as the diary of our school during this school year–another year during the pandemic, when school life carried on as best as possible. It will be a collection of words and images that will remind us all in years to come, of the resiliency of each of us and how much can still be achieved day by day. I do wonder how we will all remember the days of the 2021-22 school year. Maybe it will be the time that each of us will recount in years to come as a time when we wore a mask to school, when we washed our hands over and over and when we tried hard to be a metre apart from each other. Yes, these are the daily routines of our lives and I am sure they will be present in this diary. However I am also hoping that there are other aspects that we will one day look back on and smile. Our diary will also be an insight into the many joyful learning opportunities and experiences that students, and teachers have participated in this year. “When we learn, we grow” is part of each and every day at our school. While learning is our core business, being together building a sense of community and celebrating and valuing each other as unique individuals who make up this diverse school community are also features that I am sure you will read about and see on the pages of this diary. A huge thank you to the Yearbook team for all of their work to collaboratively create this “Diary of a Lincoln Lion”. Thank you also to each student, teacher, staff member and parent who have made this a wonderful year at Lincoln Community School. I feel truly privileged to be your Head of School. Lesley Tait Head of School
Dear ES Students and Families: Here’s a quote from Marina, ES Principal, from last year’s yearbook in 2021, “Since the campus has opened, I can say with certainty that I will never again take for granted the chance to be physically together in a school. The joy that it brings is beautiful.” And it is with great pleasure and pride that we have continued to remain open here at LCS for our ES Lion Cubs, and even better that we’ve also been able to extend our Lion’s Pride to the wider community. This school year has truly been a reminder of who we are as a community school. We have certainly put the ‘C’ for community back into Lincoln Community School! Top ten reasons in 2022 for the ‘C’ in LCS: Parent learning walks Guest speakers and readers Field trips Unit celebrations Student Led Conferences PTO parent chats Math week Teacher shadow days Village Square Spirit days
There is an old African proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Here’s to putting the togetherness back in our community and to living our values out loud! In partnership and with gratitude, Marina Gijzen, ES Principal and Natalie Wilhelm, ES Asst. Principal + PYP Coordinator
