Class of 2019 Candidates for Graduation
Online Registration for
2019-20 School Year! Prior to the start of the
2018-19 school year we intro-
duced Online Forms through
Family Access for school
enrollment. We are happy to
say that it was very successful
and will be utilized for the
2019-20 school year. Please
watch the district Facebook
page and the school website
(www.lincolnhornets.org)
over the summer as we will
post when the forms are
available in Family Access.
The August Newsletter will
also have more information
on what to do to enroll your
student(s) for the 2019-20
school year. If you need
help with logging into Family
Access please contact the
school district. This process
will eliminate most, if not all,
of the paper forms that you
typically fill out at the begin-
ning of the school year.
From the Superintendent Page 2
From the Superintendent: May has finally arrived! After this winter, it never
felt like we would see green grass and experience
the warmer weather that spring brings! This news-
letter is our final one for the 2018-2019 school year.
We all seem to say it quite frequently, “Where does
the time go?” I would first like to congratulate the
class of 2019. We wish you nothing but the best on
your future endeavors. We hope everyone will
come out and recognize our graduating seniors on
Friday, May 24, 2019 starting at 7:00 p.m.
With the end of the school year come changes
in our district staffing. I would to thank Mrs. Allison
Donaldson for her two years of service in our ele-
mentary and junior/senior high school instrumental
music program. We would also like to thank Ms.
Meghan Nortman for her time in the district as a
3rd grade teacher at Lincoln Elementary. She
served in that role for 3 years. We would like to
thank Allison and Meghan and wish them nothing
but the best on their next endeavor!
We are happy to report that as of this time we
have filled both of these vacancies for the 2019-
2020 school year. At this time we have filled the
3rd Grade teaching position at Lincoln Elementary
as well as the District Instrumental Music Teacher.
We are excited to welcome Ms. Melissa Manikow-
ski to the 3rd grade position and Ms. Brenna
Ohrmundt to the Instrumental Music position. Bren-
na is a December graduate of UW-Stevens Point.
Melissa is relocating back to Wisconsin from Califor-
nia where she taught 3rd grade for 3 years. Wel-
come to Lincoln!!
As we move into the 2019-2020 school year,
there is still a strong need for substitute teachers
throughout the district. If you or someone you
know would be in interested in being a substitute
teacher, we would love to have you! I would wel-
come the opportunity to sit down with anyone in-
terested in subbing in our district. Please have
them contact me in the District Office by calling
715-964-8271 to set up an appointment.
If you have not seen the newly released video
highlighting our great district, please visit

der the “Parents” tab where you select “District

Wow! What a crazy, busy, snowy spring it has
been. Lincoln FCCLA managed to squeeze a trip to WI
Dells on April 8-10 to attend the WI FCCLA State Leader-
ship Conference and STAR Event Competi-
tion. Members were busy voting for next years’ state
officers, attending training workshops, and competing
against FCCLA members from across the state for the
opportunity to represent their school and WI FCCLA at
the National FCCLA Conference in Anaheim, CA in
June.
Once again, Lincoln FCCLA members worked hard
despite so many ice and snow day cancellations, to
earn Gold and Silvers at the state level in their respec-
tive events. Senior FCCLA members Ian Hoge, Recycle
and Redesign, SR, lead the way with a top gold; while
Faith Pozega, Teach & Train, Occupational earned top
scores as well. Earning Silvers were: the team of Miah
Breheim, Emily Frey, and Liza Cummings, Chapter Ser-
vice Project and Display, JR. Ian Hoge, the team of
Trystyn Hoffman, Calysta Hawkins-Luken, and Lacey
Labar, Chapter Service Display, JR,; Lily Nichols, Illustra-
tive Talk, JR;. Hannah Lamp, Basic Kitchen Math and
Terminology. Also representing Lincoln FCCLA this year
was Faith Pozega and Hannah Lamp, Regional Reps,
and Lily Nichols and Abby Heath, Voting Delegates.
The top two scores in each event (state-wide) are

ference. We are happy to announce that Faith Poze-
ga, Kloee Stazik, Emily Otto and Ian Hoge had the top
scores in their respective events. Nationals will be in An-

Driver’s Education Information Summer Driver’s Ed. will start on

Post-Secondary Planning
Timeline for Juniors 1. Research your options and make sure the
schools in which you are interested have your
program/major.
2. Teacher recommendations: Consider whom
you will ask to write your recommenda-
tions. Think about asking teachers who know
you well and who will write positive academic
recommendations about you. Letters from
coaches, club advisors, church members and
other adults who know you well outside of
school are also valuable. Make sure to ask for
your recommendations well in advance.
3. Apply for a summer job or internship. College
applications and testing fees can be very cost-
ly. Summer is a great time to gain valuable
work experience and responsibility.
4. Visit the campuses of your top three college
choices. It is important to visit both two and
four year college campuses. Often times we
overlook the schools right in our backyard,
make the most of what local campuses have
to offer.
5. Talk to current students who are attending the
colleges in which you are interested.
6. Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer! You can nev-
er have enough community service hours to
include in your applications and resumes. You
will also benefit personally from helping others.
7. Compose rough drafts of your college es-
says. This will make things simpler at the start of
school when asking for help proofreading from
your English teacher or other adult.
8. Start thinking about how you will afford col-
lege. This is where that part-time job might
come in handy.
9. Take senior year seriously. Colleges will look at
your grades and course rigor. Make sure that
you have a challenging and enjoyable sched-
ule.

Yearbook Senior Portrait Deadline:
October 1, 2019 The yearbook staff is beginning to plan the 2020
yearbook. In order to help students and parents
make plans for senior portrait sessions and keep
hassles to a minimum, we would like to share the
senior portrait policy.
All photos submitted must meet the following
requirements:
· head and shoulder, VERTICAL photo
· color, not black and white
· no name stamps, borders. etc.
· no props
· all student attire must be tasteful and conform to
the school dress code
Students are NOT required to use a professional
photographer; however, if they do choose to have
a friend or relative take their photos, they should
keep the above rules in mind. Also, photos taken
outdoors on cloudy days are often best, as the
lighting isn’t too harsh. Please be sure the resolution
is at least 300 dpi so the photo is not blurry when
printed.
To ensure the highest quality printing, please ask
your photographer to submit your photo digitally, if
possible. If submitting a photo via print or CD,
please write the student’s full name clearly on the
CD or back of the print. All photos should be sent
to the attention of Neil Fitzmaurice at Lincoln High
School, 124 S. School Street, Alma Center, WI 54611.
You should plan to have your photos taken
BEFORE you arrive back at school in September, as it
takes photographers time to get your prints back to
you. Please check with your photographer a few
weeks before the deadline to make sure the photo
was sent to the high school. Photos need to be sub-
mitted on time! If we do not have your senior photo
by the deadline, your picture will not be included in
the yearbook! If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact the yearbook advisor at:
neil_fitzmaurice@achm.k12.wi.us
The Faith Community Invites You to a
Graduate Affirmation Celebration
Juniors: College Campus Visits 101 Summer is the perfect time to experience college
life and schedule your campus visits.
While you are on campus you will want to sched-
ule an official tour by contacting the office of admis-
sions. Try to meet with current students taking sum-
mer classes. If possible, schedule a meeting with a
counselor or financial aid advisor.
Take advantage of the great weather and see
Wisconsin campuses in their summer glory. No high
school classes will be missed and you can have mul-
tiple mini-vacations.
Make the most of your time on campus! You will
be spending years of your life and thousands of dol-
lars there...make the visit count and ask lots of ques-
tions.
Have fun and enjoy the visit. This is a great oppor-
tunity to spend some quality time with mom and dad
before you take that next step.

Athletic Physicals for 2019-20 Sports
Grades 6-11
Students need physicals every other year to
participate in athletics, so most students currently
in grades 6, 8, and 10 will need physicals for ath-
letic participation next school year. Students that
participated in track or cross country in 6th
grade, and got their physical prior to those sea-
sons will be on a different schedule. Those stu-
dents will get their physicals prior to grades 8, 10,
and 12. If you are not sure if you need one,
check with Mr. Hanson or the high school office.
You may pick up the WIAA form in the high
school office before you go for your physical or it
can be found on the WIAA website under the
Health tab.
The cost of the athletic physical is the responsi-
bility of the student and their parent. Physical
forms need to be on file before a student may
participate in practice or games.
The date for high school football equipment
handout is Monday, August 5 with practice start-
ing on Tuesday, August 6. The start date for high
school volleyball and cross-country practice is
Monday, August 19.
2019-20 School Calendar and Supply List The 2019-20 School Calendar and School Supply List is
available on the school website. Copies are also availa-
ble at both the Lincoln High School office and Lincoln
Elementary office.
