Happy Friday! Thank you to all of our Van Dyke Public Schools Community members who reached out to Michigan legislators regarding our state budget. There has been a deal reached in time to keep operations moving through October 1 and beyond. Details are coming soon, and we're still holding strong on making sure there is equity in funding for our students, staff, and operations.

For today, let's celebrate Lincoln High School's Homecoming with our parade at 5:00 and the Varsity football game at 7:00. Happy HOCO and we'll see you later. Go, Abes!

Van Dyke Community: Please read and help our schools! If we don't act for our students and staff, they could be left out in the rain. Education is power.

On Saturday, we were able to host two reunion group tours for the Classes of 1975 and 1985. Fun was had by all seeing the new additions to Lincoln High School and having the graduates tell our current students what used to be where as they guided everyone through the facilities. Big thanks to our student ambassadors Alphonso Weaver, Ravi Wallace, Deja Manuel, Autumn McKinstry, and La'Zaria Jamar. The organizers, Cindy Gruenberg Shankin and Dawn Gafa, were able to get the groups together for some catching up and reminiscing, as well as making new friends with the current Van Dykers. What a great way to spend a Saturday and another great day to be an Abe!

On this historic day, we will always remember those who sacrificed their lives to save others and keep so many of us safe. This day has become symbolic and has brought us together. It reminds us to treat everyone with grace and compassion, as neighbors and friends in our great country. We can all spare a little love for someone when they need it.

Yesterday, our General Motors interns were able to be a part of the Annual Showcase at the Tech Center and share their innovative projects from their summer work. They showed that Lincoln High School is a community pillar, our students care about others, and they know how to get things done with pride. You can see some of their projects here - learn more this school year!
