👹 Monster Party with SHS students and their art class buddies from Keane & Lincoln. After reading “I Need My Monster” each 1st grade student created and colored their own custom monster. SHS Ceramics classes created the monsters as clay sculptures for their buddy to keep.📸

The Lincoln ES Student Council took a field trip to the Animal Protective Foundation (APF) Wednesday. Students enjoyed visiting and reading to their new furry friends.
