SAULT STE. MARIE— Lincoln Elementary School in Sault Ste. Marie closed its doors for the last time today, marking the end of an era for students and staff.
Lincoln Elementary School, which served second, third and fourth grades is closing its doors for the last time.
“The kids are pumped. They have the normal questions. Mr. McCready, are you going with us? Are the staff going with us? Is everybody moving together? Again, it’s about the relationships and that all of the familiar faces will be in the new building in a more modern facility,” said Carl McCready, who has been principal at Lincoln Elementary for the past three years.
As part of the tradition at Lincoln Elementary, the names of all fourth graders were announced as they left the building for the last time.
Carl McCready, who has been with Soo Area Schools for 25 years, will continue his role as principal at the new K-5 building.
The transition aims to provide students and staff with a more modern facility, although specific details about the new building’s features have not been disclosed.
