WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS... The Lincoln County R-III School District appreciates so many people, businesses and organizations that proudly support our students and our schools. During the 2012-13 school year, the R-III District and its 11 schools (at the time) set out to highlight speci?c people, businesses and organizations as “Friends of the District” during sporting events, assemblies and special programs. Each “Friend of the District” was presented a plaque to be proudly displayed at their home, business or o?ce. These community partners are truly “friends” of the Lincoln County R-III District and our students. Thank you again for supporting the education of the more than 6,300 students in the Lincoln County R-III School District.
