🚗✨ This morning, St. James Elementary launched its first-ever “Dads on Duty” event!
Since construction prevents them from hosting “All Pro Dads” this year, our awesome dads stepped up in a new way — greeting families with smiles, opening car doors, and starting the day with encouragement and care. 💙
Thank you to these role models for showing our students that strong schools are built on strong community support! #WeAreLINCOLN #DadsOnDuty

✨ FLASHBACK FRIDAY ✨
Then → Megan Hege attended Union Elementary and West Lincoln Middle. Her favorite teacher was Mrs. Baxter at West Middle, who made math fun even when it didn’t come easily.
Currently, Mrs. Megan Hege Smith teaches 7th-grade ELA at East Lincoln Middle School. While she grew up in Lincoln County and moved away for a while, she truly loves being part of a small-town community where people care for one another.
When asked what she loves most about her job, Mrs. Smith said:
“Getting to know and appreciate a whole new group of kids every year and learning their personalities. It makes for a fun time at work that is never short on excitement and challenges.”
We’re so proud to celebrate Mrs. Smith’s journey from LCS student to LCS staff! ❤️🍎

🎉 Today we’re proud to celebrate Mrs. Withrow, principal of Battleground Elementary!
This morning, we recognized her school for exceeding growth for the 2nd year in a row 📈👏 — and now it’s time to shine a spotlight on the leader behind the success.
From her detective dreams as a child 🕵️♀️ to her inspiring advice — “Do what’s right by students, and you will NEVER be wrong!” — Mrs. Withrow models servant leadership every day. She’s never been outside the U.S., grew up without a TV (her first was in college!), and in retirement she plans to enjoy coffee on the porch and evenings around a campfire. ☕🔥
Thank you, Mrs. Withrow, for your dedication, vision, and heart for students. 💙❤️ You are what makes Battleground — and LCS — shine. 🌟

🌟 Student Leadership in Action! 🌟
One of our Lincolnton Middle School students was spotted making a difference—picking up trash at a bus stop without being asked. 🙌
That’s what true leadership looks like: seeing a need and stepping up to make our community better. 💙
👏 Way to set the example for others—thank you for showing us what it means to lead with pride and responsibility!

🌟 It’s National Principals Month and today we’re shining the spotlight on Mr. Oakes, principal of Childers Elementary!
This morning we celebrated Childers for exceeding growth — and behind that success is a leader who cares deeply about his students and staff. Mr. Oakes is more than a principal; he’s a mentor, a role model, and even the main chef at home! (And if Hollywood ever comes calling, he’d happily take the lead in a James Bond film.)
His favorite piece of advice? “Always leave something better than you found it — it’s a mark of great character.” That wisdom shows up daily in the way he leads his school.
Take a moment today to thank Mr. Oakes for his dedication and to let him know the impact he makes at Childers and across our district. 💙
