We were so fortunate to have author Mary Tellefson visit Lincoln STEM last week! She is a teacher and author who works with blind/visually-impaired children. She came to do a presentation and simulation workshop. Students wore blindfolds to see what it what it would be like to have a vision impairment, and also took turns being guides. Thank you, Ms. Tellefson!

Our Webster Wildcats sure had a #WatertownWay day of fun during physical education class last week! The amazing Ms. Alwin set up various stations throughout the gymnasium so students could participate in all kinds of activities! It's a favorite gym day for our young movers and shakers!

Last week, students at Webster Elementary enjoyed lessons and fun with Speed Stacks. They worked on sequencing, hand-eye coordination and quickness. They were even patient enough to build a giant tower with amazing teamwork! Way to go, Wildcats! #WatertownWay

We are getting ready for Spring Break by having a little fun this week! Here's one of our amazing #WatertownWay staff members participating in Hat Day at RMS. That pink flamingo hat sure has us thinking of warmer temperatures!

Recently, the #WatertownWay World Languages department at Watertown High School wrapped up its celebration of Foreign Language Week with the induction ceremonies for both the Spanish Honor Society and German National Honor Society.

We were excited to welcome back former WHS teacher, Mrs. Mullen, who recently visited Endeavor Charter High School as a guest speaker! She helped us celebrate Women’s History Month by telling stories of some of the norms for women in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! #onceagoslingalwaysagosling

Wednesday, March 16th was National Panda Day, and our #WatertownWay students and staff at Lincoln STEM celebrated all week in a BIG way! Panda research was done, panda books were read, panda artwork was created, and panda cupcakes were decorated and eaten! The whole school also participated in a panda trivia contest - with Mrs. Atkins’s class winning! It gets better - check this out! 👉 The students participated in a Pennies for Pandas service project where students brought in their change all week to raise money to donate to the pandas at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. They raised an incredible $804.74 and for every $100.00 raised, a staff member got pied in the face Friday afternoon. Check out the Lincoln STEM Elementary School PTO Facebook page for a replay of all the pie throwing!
