WHAT PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE?
You mean your child has not told you about this? Hard to believe.
If you have a child attending Lincoln, Thursday night, Nov. 13th is the day to show up for the Parent-Teacher conference held at the campus beginning at 5 p.m. and ending at 7 p.m.
Find out if your child is really not getting any homework assigned or if there is a classroom problem going on that a little parent-teacher discussion can get worked out.
In any event, it is always a good thing to do- See the people who are teaching your child and let them know you care about what's going on enough to make that trip out there Thursday. Teachers are important, but they can do more with parents who are involved- get involved.
Remember these important words about high school- This is the last time that your son or daughter will have a school that is free- don't let it be wasted.
Street parking on N. Broadway is always perilous- this time I mean that northbound curb parking gets you a ticket between 4 and 6 pm, so check the signs (as any good L.A. traffic survivalist would do).
Friday Night- Wilson Mules come to play the Lincoln Tigers
If you have been following the Tigers this season, there is one last game to be played and it will be at home at 7 p.m. on Friday night against our friendly -and at times, not so friendly- rival , Wilson High. (I knew them when they had their school on the flatlands, a long long time ago.)
Come on to root for our team and while you are there, be sure to bring an appetite so that you can enjoy some LHS Alumni Association food. It's part of the fundraising activites and each year and each game, the menu tries to be better than the last. The prices aren't bad, either.
SATURDAY - THE MAGNET CAMPUS CLEAN UP AT 9 AM.
O.K., you have me there. What are we talking about here? Is the "Magnet Campus" a campus?- and that phrase sounds somehow very magical (that I was not even aware existed separately), or are we just to understand that the "campus clean up" will be done by the "Magnet" school component?
Whoever is doing it needs to be at school at 9 a.m. Simple enough.
The bigger picture, in my view, is "Why do we have to have a CAMPUS CLEAN UP at all?"
If it's an accumulated mess, then the students who attend the school should be KEEPING it clean. What this really does, in my critical view (sorry for that) is to have some constructive-leaning students have to do work for those who are getting a free ride for being untidy members of the student body.
The pride we have in our school should be shown to others in many ways. Keeping it clean is one way. There has to be a bit of "campus beautification" going on at the same time here, and THAT is what everyone should be thinking of. Cleaning up somebody else's mess is not where the energy should go- but we can look at ways to make the school campus look better- and it is one of the better looking ones in the district.
I will leave that whole idea for now. I do want to give credit to those students involved in the Saturday effort that helps keep up Lincoln and it gets our students working together for some improvements that they can immediately enjoy.
Teachers- credit to you, too.
