Lincoln Middle School Drama Club presents...

Social distancing for Drama Club? No problem - we made a podcast!

Students recorded lines on phones or computers and sent them in. Then, along with some sound effects found on the internet, the lines were turned into 4 short podcasts. You're invited into the world of viking pirate princesses, groundbreaking female doctors, tireless teenage revolutionaries, and emperors, advisors and villagers.

Not all the students were able to participate this way, and we want to take a moment to tell them that their voices are missed, but it's completely understandable that everyone has their own unique situation in these times. we miss them, and all the drama students, very much.

This has been a huge learning experience for all of us, and the upside is that no matter what the fall brings for Drama Club, we have another tool in our pocket to bring theater to the world.

We invite you to take some time to listen to these stories and be transported to a different world for a little while.

PPS Food Assistance Resources



Posted on 03/23/2020

During the COVID-19 crisis, many Portland Public Schools families are struggling to meet their food needs due to job loss and other factors. Click HERE for a list of food assistance resources where families can get help.

Don’t need food assistance? Please consider donating to the PPS Food Fund, which helps PPS families grappling with food insecurity, and/or the Families in Crisis Fund, which helps families with basic needs other than food. 

Both are administered by the Foundation for Portland Public Schools (FPPS). The mission of FPPS is to raise philanthropic support to enhance educational opportunities for present and future students in Portland’s Public Schools. FPPS’ Vision is to strengthen schools through community investment.

Maine Bio Science Day
Sixth grade Applied Science students participated in Maine BioScience Day on Thursday, 11/21. Two architects from SMRT Architects and Engineers visited our classroom to present some of their work on local and international STEM lab designs and how they have evolved with emerging technologies. Maine Bioscience Day is a statewide event that aims to get middle school students excited about science related fields. The event focuses on educating Maine’s youth about the opportunities they might have working in a science related field in their future. Professionals in science-related fields volunteer to visit local middle school classrooms to talk with students about their career in science, their daily tasks, and the opportunities that are available in science based careers.
