Tuesday 4/23 – 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. – Lincoln High School Community Exhibition
Lincoln High School is opening up their campus for their Spring Community Walk Through. Members of the community are invited on campus, to get an inside look at the learning culture inside of Lincoln. Students will share data about the school, share a mini documentary produced, shot and staring the students of Lincoln High school, then finally invite guests to take self-guided tours of the campus. (8AM-12PM in the Innovation Center room 112)

Humans of Lincoln Project Screening (9:30-1030 in Theatre)
The "Humans of Lincoln" mission is to uncover and discover stories, from all stakeholders in the Lincoln community to show resilience and strength unique to this community of scholars. Humans of Lincoln is inspired by the "Humans of New York" blog. The goal is for students to compile 100 stories from Lincoln community stakeholders. Lauren Wilensky, teaching 11th grade American Literature at Lincoln High School, saw a need to get students talking to one another to create change in the culture and climate. Together with colleague, Cassandra Gately and resource teachers JahB Prescott and Hiedi Hall, 11th grade students are discovering their voice by speaking with different audiences and in doing so are identifying the strengths and significant stories within their community and creating new conversations. Here at Lincoln we are embracing both empathy and the art of actively listening to develop a significant story that will bridge our differences. By teaching 11th graders interview skills, how to listen to others and constructing a narrative about others, students are empowered to move into critical conversations about connections and develop empathy for their peers and neighbors.
Here is a sample of some of the student stories: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRfE0mN4jPiXkwWUJ7y0kuQkJATlb6WQ7XWLdV_j1CpE0wdVwXCf7hoGFlfTMOKVjprAAofmfo9UfVQ/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
