The Annual Lincoln Scholarship Awards Assembly was held virtually this year on May 12 with the entire Lincoln Elementary School in attendance.

Lincoln Elementary offers scholarship opportunities for graduating 12th grade seniors who attended Lincoln. Heading up this year’s scholarship committee was Lincoln teacher Angelina Thomas and her co-chair was Zara Reyes. They worked tirelessly to create a memorable virtual assembly for the scholarship recipients.

The returning seniors got to reminisce about their favorite memories and teachers at Lincoln and say hello to their “kindergarten buddies” who are now sixth graders. Recipients were from Clark Magnet, Village Christian and Crescenta Valley high schools.

Alexander James received the Lincoln Staff Scholarship from Principal Barbara Fariss.

The recipients of the Pat Kalish & Martha Plumtree Scholarship were Ernesto Aguilar and Sedona Elliott. The Palacios Family Scholarship for students planning to major in English, literature, writing or liberal arts was awarded to Matthew Apostol. The Lincoln Staff Scholarship was awarded to Alexander James. The Stephen Williams Leadership Scholarship was awarded to Eunice Yoon. The Sixth Grade Committee Scholarship was awarded to Leighton Ong Yiu. The Lincoln PTA Scholarship was awarded to Victoria Ibarra, and the Lincoln Foundation Scholarships were awarded to Jiyun Jodi Roe and Juliana Ramos.
