Dear Parents and Caregivers,

I hope that you all had a wonderful winter break.  We’ve had a wonderful few once we were finally able to return to school after the latest snow storm.  Hopefully, the worst of winter is behind us at this point as we welcome the month of March this Sunday.

Please scroll below for information about a number of upcoming events.  I hope that you all have a nice weekend and we look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday.

Warm Regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr

Snack Engineers


Grades 1-5

During this 6-week Snack Engineering Program students will explore the science behind their favorite treats while creating unique snacks from scratch. Each week, they'll dive into hands-on activities, such as engineering their own chips, making white chocolate from scratch, and creating marshmallow fluff. From understanding the chemistry of caramelization to experimenting with flavors and textures, this program offers a fun and educational journey into the world of culinary creativity. By the end of the course, students will have crafted a variety of snacks to share with family and friends, gaining valuable knowledge in food science and engineering.

Author Ray Shepard

In honor of Literacy Month, Lincoln Public School's MCC and Lincoln First Parish Racial Justice Committee, are sponsoring an event in Roxbury, featuring local Lincoln author Ray Shepard. 

His timely message geared to both kids & caregivers addresses the current social-political-racial justice recession and how today's students must prepare for the coming storm. He will stress three points: 1) Literacy in the AI world, 2) Literacy in the anti-DEI world, and 3) self-literacy: knowing yourself in this new environment. Time will be given for questions and comments.

(Quiet activities will be available to occupy young children.)

Where: Putnam Hall at the UU Urban Ministry, John Eliot Square, 10 Putnam Street, Roxbury
