On Tuesday morning the 2018 Lincoln Elementary School Promoting Class of 2018 said their goodbyes to one chapter of their education as they prepared collectively to embark on a new journey together inside of the school’s multipurpose room.
Andres Mariscal welcomed the friends and family of the promoting students to begin the ceremony, while Principal Steve Anderson introduced Lipsy Arciniega Ortiz and Andres Mariscal as the recipients of the Manteca Unified Character Counts Award.
