One hundred years of learning, laughter, and lions
Since 1926, Lincoln Elementary has been home to generations of students, teachers, and families. In October 2026, we're gathering to celebrate one hundred years of our little corner of the neighborhood — and we want you there.
Whether you attended Lincoln in the 1940s or your child started kindergarten last fall, this celebration is for you. Come reminisce, reconnect, and help us mark a century of the Lions.

Share your memory of Lincoln
Every family, every classroom, every graduating class has a story. Help us build a living archive of what Lincoln has meant to our community — and see what others remember.
Help spread the word
We're reaching out through Facebook groups, alumni networks, and word of mouth — but nothing beats a personal invitation. If you know someone who once walked Lincoln's halls, please share this page with them.
Get in touch with the committee if you'd like to help with outreach, volunteer for the event, or connect us with an alumni group.
Join the conversation
We've started a Facebook group for the centennial — a place for anyone with a Lincoln connection to reconnect, share news, and hear about updates leading up to October 11.
