More than 60 students from Lincoln Elementary School will walk onto a high school campus in the fall.

While regular 8th grade promotion ceremonies have been sidelined until potentially later this summer, students from Lincoln lined up along Powers Avenue Tuesday morning for a drive-thru graduation ceremony to receive their promotion certificates and say goodbye to the school that has been their home for nine years.
