Still not over this shoutout from the one and only Land Phil! 🤩

This back-to-school season, let's recognize Lincoln Public Schools' Sustainability Department for doing their part to take care of Land Phil.

Our schools and educators take steps to save food, recycle, and teach students about what happens to garbage after it is thrown away. Thank you, LPS, for all you do. Have a great school year!
