Lincoln Strings Students Attend Special Concert in Bronxville

Lincoln Strings Students Attend Special Concert in Bronxville

On Saturday, April 11, sixth-grade students from the Lincoln School Strings Program attended a very special concert, Happy 250th Birthday America, at The Reformed Church of Bronxville. The performance marked the finale of the Concordia Conservatory’s Hoch Chamber Music Series and featured an outstanding ensemble of professional musicians performing works by Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and Bernard Herrmann.

The program concluded with a newly commissioned piece, Omaggio, by Grammy-winning bassist and composer John Patitucci—a musical tribute to Harriet Tubman, Maya Angelou, and Martin Luther King Jr.

Students were especially excited to see their teachers, Jon Kim and Emanouil Manolov, perform as part of the program. Watching their own instructors on stage in a professional setting was a meaningful and inspiring experience, helping students connect their classroom learning to the wider world of music.

Special thanks to Kathleen Suss, Executive Director of Concordia Conservatory,  for inviting our students, their families, and school staff to this exceptional event. We are also grateful to the generous grants and donors who make it possible for our Strings students to receive weekly instruction through graduation.

Music filled the playground and the Lincoln School mascot was ready with hugs, high-fives and plenty of photo opportunities as fathers and father figures arrived with their children for Dad’s Take Your Child to School Day. The festive start set the tone for a morning devoted to celebrating the men who play an important role in students’ lives. After arriving with their children, fathers and father figures gathered for a continental breakfast, giving them a chance to meet, talk and spend time together as part of the Lincoln community.

Director of Food Services brings healthy cooking to life for Lincoln students

Director of School Food Services Donna M. Jackson recently brought hands-on learning to life during a mini cooking class with eighth-graders at Lincoln School. Students explored healthy, simple recipes, starting with a popcorn ranch spice blend before moving on to a more involved spring salad. The experience highlighted both a learning gap in basic food preparation skills and a powerful opportunity: students’ enthusiasm to try something new and embrace healthier choices.
