South Locust Street/Dubuque Hy-Vee is Lincoln School's Business Partner

Hy-Vee sponsors Lincoln's Leader-of-the-Month
Student Award Program

Each month students and staff members nominate students that have done a particularly good job leading with one of the Seven Habits. Hy-Vee partnership liaison, Eliza Cole, selects one Leader-of-the-Month per grade level. Those students selected go to Hy-Vee for lunch at the Grand Buffet, receive a Leader-of-the-Month certificate (posted on a specially designed board) and are featured in the Lincoln LOG newsletter. At the end of the school year, all Leaders-of-the-Month are invited to a special celebration catered by Hy-Vee and sponsored by the B.U.N.T. Family Foundation. There are numerous and varied other ways that Hy-Vee supports the Lincoln mission throughout the school year.
