Dear Lincoln Community,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

As we enter this new academic year, I am filled with excitement and optimism for the journey ahead. It is a privilege to continue serving as the Principal of Lincoln Elementary School, where our dedicated team of educators, staff, and families work together to create a nurturing and inspiring environment for our students.

This year, our theme is "Be Curious." We believe that curiosity is the foundation of lifelong learning and growth. By encouraging our students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and embrace challenges, we are fostering a mindset that will serve them well both inside and outside the classroom.

At Lincoln Elementary, our mission is to provide a well-rounded education that supports the whole child. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

As we embark on this new academic year, I encourage all of us—students, parents, staff, and community members—to work together as one Lincoln family. Together, we can ensure that our school remains a place of excellence, where our students are equipped with the skills and values they need to thrive in the future.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. I am honored to lead Lincoln Elementary and am confident that this will be a year filled with learning, growth, and success.

Sincerely,

Deanne Katayama, Ed.D.
Principal, Lincoln Elementary School
