YAHOO...our 4th day of testing is complete! Mrs. Loecker's 3rd graders celebrated with a friendly competition...the Oreo Cookie Challenge! The giggles throughout the game is always Mrs. Loecker's favorite! Congrats to the two students who were able to get the cookie from their foreheads to their mouths without using their hands!
FREEZE-POPS!! Third graders in Mrs. Stacey's enjoyed a chilly treat to end a warm week thanks to the Lincoln Student Council!

After a long and impactful career of 47 years Sally Stanage, our dedicated elementary speech pathologist, is retiring after decades of service in the Yankton School District. Beginning in Webster Elementary from 1979 to 2003, she also served students at Beadle/Webster Elementaries from 1984 to 1996 before continuing her work at Lincoln Elementary from 2003 through 2026. Throughout her career, she supported students across multiple buildings, including the middle school, Utica, Mission Hill, and Sacred Heart. Her journey into the field began during her junior year when she took a speech correction class that sparked her interest with its challenge and purpose, guided by an inspiring instructor who later became her advisor. Reflecting on her time in the district, she is most grateful for the supportive administrators and teachers she worked alongside and notes that the energy and excitement of the elementary setting made it especially rewarding. Over the years, she has seen significant growth in the field, with expanded knowledge around stuttering and a deeper understanding of how speech, articulation, and language development are critical to reading and comprehension. As she looks ahead to retirement, she is excited for a slower pace of life, free from carefully scheduled days, and most of all, the arrival of her first grandchild in May.
Lincoln 5th graders in Mrs. Roth's class enjoyed the musical, "Annie." What a fantastic performance by all.
Spring Band Informance at Lincoln Elementary featuring 4th & 5th grade band students. They did a great job! Thank you Mrs. DenHerder for all your time and effort you put into the students, lessons, and concerts.
After long testing days, Mrs.Stacey's third graders gave our brains a break and played some games! We took on the human knot challenge, played Alibi, and Silent Ball! Lots of laughs were shared!
Mrs. Loecker's 3rd graders have rocked two of the state tests this week and celebrated by playing a game called "Alibi". It was fun watching the suspects try to trick the detective and watching the detective try to figure it out!
Mrs. Davison's third graders built nests for their peeps! 🐣
Thank you to our Junior Achievement volunteers Cameron Krejci and Kyler Johnson at Elkhorn Valley Bank and Trust for teaching us all about how money flows, different jobs, and our community. These Lincoln second graders can't wait to fill their piggy banks!
Thanks for the popcorn, Ace Hardware! Mrs. Loecker's 3rd grade class is poppin' with excitement to eat this delicious snack!
Ms. Greene's "firsties" have come such a long way in their learning. We are creating word lists with a given sound and loving it!
Mr. Bochman & Ms. Greene's class got together for a STEM activity. We made "hopping" bunnies! It was loud and full of action!
3rd graders in Mrs. Loecker's class enjoyed an ice cream party for good behavior. Thanks so much to all the parents who helped donate the ice cream and all the yummy toppings!
Mrs. Neuhaus's 1st graders at Lincoln turned learning into something extra sweet! 🍬
We used jelly beans to build our very own charts and collect data. First, we sorted them by color, then counted how many of each we had. The classroom was full of excited mathematicians comparing which color had the most and the least!
After all our hard work analyzing and graphing, we got to the best part… eating our data! 😄
Who knew math could be this delicious? 💛📊

Mrs. Loecker's 3rd grade class enjoyed looking at a variety of rocks in science to kick off their topic on fossils. We looked at metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and minerals. It was fun to explore the variety of rocks and learn a little information about how each was created.
We spent the day Irish dancing in the music classroom at Lincoln for St. Patrick's Day. Each grade level learned a bit about Ireland, its culture and music. Each grade also had the opportunity to learn a different Irish folk dance.
