We invite staff and students to support this effort by donating non-perishable food items, snacks, and unwrapped toys. Let’s work together to help our Johnston City Schools families.

Students can bring donations to class or drop them off at any school's front office. The school with the most donations will earn a special treat from our Full-Service Community Schools team.

There might be snow on the ground, but we're STILL thinking about all the fun our students at Lincoln Elementary had the day before Thanksgiving break.

Our 3rd and 4th-grade students went from classroom to classroom, taking part in different holiday-themed activities. In Mrs. Grizzell's room, students enjoyed snacks and learned about dinner etiquette. This included being distraction-free at the table, especially from electronic devices, giving people turns to talk, and listening when others are speaking!

We sure hope our kiddos put these best practices to use during their Thanksgiving meal!

We've made it to December, and there are a lot of activities happening over the next few weeks, including picture re-take day tomorrow, Tuesday, December 5th.

Remember, if you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required.

If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day.

Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.

Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken.
