Lincoln County Schools - Preparing today’s learners to be tomorrow’s leaders.

LCS Families - Severe weather in our schools can be scary, and yesterday’s storms came through our area quicker and stronger than anticipated. Thankfully all of our schools have prepared for severe weather, and our staff and students executed those procedures efficiently yesterday. We sincerely thank our school staff and our support staff – our bus drivers, transportation staff, custodians, cooks, clerks and all professional and service staff – for making sure students were safe and reassured. I know many of you were also dealing with spotty phone service and power issues, and you still found a way to make it work. We know disruptions caused by severe weather can be inconvenient and stressful for families. Your flexibility and understanding during these types of events does not go unnoticed and everyone at LCS is grateful to all of our families.

2nd Graders at Ranger Elementary combined science and art to learn more about animals. Students researched an animal and then created a paper mache replica of the animal they studied. To finish up the project, students presented their animal research and paper mache animal to other classes. They also took questions from the audience and did a wonderful job answering each one. Great job, Rangers!
