This week in Lincoln Parish Schools
The Lincoln Parish Journal is providing our local schools with an opportunity to submit nuggets from what’s going on at their respective schools in order to get more information out on their students, faculty and staff. The information below comes directly from those schools. Any school wishing to provide written content each week can email to flynnhl@warhawks.ulm.edu
