Reflections on a 50th Reunion
By Nancy Hayes Golden '61
Nancy Hayes Golden '61The class of 1961 came back for its 50th! That by itself was wonderful for a group that has resisted “reuning” from the start. Thirteen of our classmates came from all over, some as far as Florida, Arizona, California and even France. I think without exception, we found a wonderful comradeship that we hadn’t been able to have 50 years ago in our adolescence. We are now a group of grown women who have experienced life in its many guises, been ‘round the block a few times and who, of course, look at life very differently than we did when we were 17. We found friendships where before there were acquaintances and deepened friendships that we’d perhaps let lapse. Hopefully everyone was as glad to be there as I was and as gratified that the magic that can come to an event like this did seem to happen.  Read more...

 

School Spirit Still Strong
By Caroline Canning '06
Corlis Gross '06, Anna Ruth Coon '06, and Caroline Canning '06I wasn’t sure how I would feel about attending my five-year reunion – would I feel old and disconnected from a place I spent the greater part of seven years? Would my classmates and I fall back into the same easy, comfortable rhythm that we enjoyed while at Lincoln after five years apart? Or would it feel like I hadn’t missed a beat, like I had been simply absent for a period of time and now had returned to reassume the days of my middle and upper school years?

Alumnae Leader Accolades
Award VideoOur 2011 awardees and video of their student-led discussion
One of the hallmarks of a Lincoln School education is leadership. At Lincoln, girls rule the school; it’s the norm here. It’s no surprise, then, that so many alumnae become exemplary leaders in their own fields once they leave their Lincoln kilts behind. During Alumnae & Reunion Weekend, the Alumnae Association recognizes these leaders
within our community. Read more...

Love, Loyalty, and...
By Julia Russell Eells, Head of School
Julia EellsAs long as I have been at Lincoln, I have experienced many a furrowed brow and plenty of hearty debates over the term “lowliness” in our school seal. It accompanies two words that our community can quickly embrace as we know that “love” and “loyalty” are key to our learning, our connections, our relationships and our community. Many ask (and appropriately so), “How can we perpetuate the idea that girls and young women are ‘lowly’ in pursuit of their education, work, lives and relationships?" Read more...

Building Community in an Unfamiliar Place
Peter BrooksBy Peter Brooks, Middle and Upper School Director
On the second day of school this year, the Ninth Graders waited patiently in the living room at Lincoln for their bus. Over the course of the next two days, 48 individual girls would come together as a unified class and solidify a feeling of collective purpose and leadership that is an essential component of the Lincoln experience.

To Play Is To Discover
By Caroline Walsh, Lower School Director
PlayIn the past two decades, the value of playtime has fallen under great scrutiny and elicited a variety of responses. Among these studies was one conducted by a Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, whose “data suggest[s] that a lack of opportunities for unstructured, imaginative play can keep children from growing into happy, well-adjusted adults...” Isn’t it a bit ironic that we need concrete data to support abstract creativity?
