Xmas at Lincoln School.

12-17-18 SHORT HILLS: Today was the annual Xmas party at Lincoln Elementary School in Newark, NJ for Ms. Catalano’s second grade class. Judy and some other volunteers go there monthly to coach the kids’ reading skills with the therapy dogs. I understand that it’s usually serious work. Today was a party, almost raucous. Judy brings small toys and stuffies donated by folks in the Upper Valley of VT and NH.

The toys were delivered by Subaru as the reindeer were not available. There were cookies and sloppy-joes and cocoa.

We head to VT in a few days.

The annual, for about ten years, Xmas party for the second graders at LES. We have seen a whole generation of kids go through the school.
