Lincoln students published in national anthology; swimmer named All‑State
Summary
At a recent Lincoln School District meeting, staff recognized students whose writing was selected for a national anthology and a student named to a girls swimming all‑state roster. The honors were presented as part of routine reports to the board.
School officials on the meeting agenda recognized Lincoln students for two recent honors: a student whose essay was selected for a national anthology and a swimmer named to an all‑state roster.
Staff said Charlotte Hogan was selected as one of the international winners in the 2025 edition of the anthology Courage of Children, Boston and Beyond, produced through the Max Courage program; the district said selected essays will be cataloged by the Boston Public Library. The meeting also recognized Emma Richards for being named to the Rhode Island High School Coaches Association girls swimming second team All‑State for the 2024–25 season.
Max Courage is a national writing initiative described at the meeting as a program that asks students to explore courage through personal narratives and that includes social‑emotional learning elements. Meeting remarks said the program culminates in a capstone essay and an annual anthology that highlights selected student essays. The district noted the anthology selection as a local honor that brings recognition to Lincoln students and schools.
The district presented both recognitions during the report portion of the meeting. No formal board action or vote was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt concerning the recognitions, which were presented as acknowledgements rather than agenda items requiring board approval.
