Lincoln Middle School hosted a successful Open House on February 19th, welcoming prospective students and families for an inside look at all LMS offers. Guests met our administration, enjoyed band and cheer team performances, and explored our vibrant extracurricular scene at the club fair—where students showcased projects like robotics and more. Volunteer teachers helped guide families on tours, making the night an engaging and informative experience. Thank you to all the students, staff, and families who made this event a success!
