Lincoln School would like to introduce our new Administrative Assistant, Holly Mathieu! She is taking over for Kelly Knaff, who held the position for the past eight years. Holly is a resident of the district and has two daughters that attend M289 schools. She’s been working at Lincoln School over the summer; learning from Kelly! Holly’s doing a great job and we’re proud that she’s part of our Lincoln and M289 team!
Mendota #289 is not losing Kelly! She’s been working hard taking classes in order to get her teaching degree. This fall, she will be gaining valuable experience working in various classrooms throughout the district. In the spring, she will be student teaching in our district. We’re looking forward to Kelly’s continued service in our district, as we continue to “grow our own!”
Let’s welcome Holly to Lincoln School and thank Kelly for her service, while wishing them all the best during this upcoming year!


We are looking to hire a recess supervisor at Lincoln for this school year. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Lincoln's principal, Dr. Lawrence, at 815-538-6226

Lincoln School had some concrete work done on the south side of the building, today. Check out the pics!
