Lincoln School Donates to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Once again the students of Lincoln School have gone all out for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Even though many are going through a tough economic time, these students are thinking of the children in the hospital and doing their best to help them. They succeeded in their task by raising a staggering $7,017.00 for the hospital. We are so proud of our students at Lincoln School.
St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital was founded by actor Danny Thomas in 1962. He not only changed the lives of children who would walk through its doors—he changed lives across the world. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world. On average, 7,800 active patients visit the hospital each year. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. It is the first institution established for the sole purpose of conducting basic and clinical research and treatment for catastrophic childhood diseases, mainly cancer. Research findings at St. Jude are shared freely with doctors and scientists all over the world. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything.

Lincoln School Peers Giving Tree
Kearny’s Lincoln School got into the spirit of the holidays this December as the junior high school’s Peers created a Giving Tree to benefit the less fortunate in Kearny. The Peers decorated a Christmas tree with homemade ornaments and anyone wishing to participate could take an ornament from that tree. That person would then receive the age and gender of a person in need. Participants would then purchase gifts to give to that person for the holidays. Ultimately, the students’ compassion and generosity enabled 19 families in the Kearny community to have happier holidays!
