Penguin PRIDE
Throughout the year, students on the Penguins Team will be participating in numerous community activities. Our goal is to help the greater community outside the four walls of Lincoln. All three of the 7th grade teams will be participating in activities that support the district mission of developing community contributors. Listed below are activities for the Penguins Team. Activities may be added or changed as each year provides unique opportunities for us to reach out to others such as the victims of the 2008 Cedar Rapids Floods or the 2005 Hurricane Katrina.
