Triumphing among 14 schools who sent 100 5th-8th Grade
students to the annual
competition at the State Capitol, Lincoln Elementary’s
team took up the Project Citizen challenge.
The challenge was to identify a public policy
concern and develop a solution through conducting historical research,
data
collection and expert interviews. Lincoln’s team (the school’s at 710 S.
Pennsylvania St.) was recognized for their creative approach, on how
educators,
often under district or state mandates, assign homework to students
without
regard to the individual student’s current level of comprehension and
learning.
Team members included Lillian Beckman, Caeliegh Cole,
Dejaune Ellerbee, Sydney
Morgan, Caleb Pan, Gabriela Pasillas, Aidan Rattray and Carsyn Tilp, and
were led by their teacher, Ms. Tiffany Berry. Photo/info courtesy Arnie
