Update on Abraham Lincoln from Mr. Skeels:

Greetings! Within the last couple of years, fundraising efforts have taken place to restore the Abraham Lincoln statue currently in the lobby of Lincoln. For those who attended Adrian, you may remember this statue in the district, at different buildings, during different eras. Though we are significantly short on reaching the needed amount of money, we do plan to continue our efforts to make this restoration a reality. We are seeking an individual or small group of people to take over the lead in these fundraising efforts. The staff and administration are not able to make this project a priority when considering the mission and goals of the district and school. If you are interested in this, please contact Sam Skeels, Lincoln principal, at 517-265-8544 or [email protected].
