Open Quote My son is getting a great education at Lincoln. He loves his teachers, and we all appreciate the safe and secure environment. Close Quote

Open Quote Over crowded classes. 35 kids in a first grade class and poor school lunches that made my child ill was one of reasons for removing my child to Catholic School. I spoke to the office about the old lunches and just let it go and said it was prob just a virus. It was only 3 times that I allowed my child to eat the lunch there the rest of the time I made the lunches. And those exact 3 times she threw up in the car after school. That to me is not a coincidence. Because of those experiences, she is terrified to eat any school lunches anymore. The kids run out of the school doors and teachers don’t all look to see if the correct gaurdian is picking up your child. Also, my 77yt old grandmother was pushed to the ground by a kid running down the stairs after school. BEWARE! Close Quote
