A Message from the PTO President


Hello LH Community,


I want to take the opportunity to officially welcome you to the 2025-26 school year at Lincoln Hubbard Elementary School.  As always, I am honored and proud to be a part of the Summit academic community and more specifically part of our very special LH community full of our dedicated administration, teachers and staff, PTO members, volunteers, and families and of course, our students, for whom we do it all for! 


Our PTO’s commitment to community and student enrichment remains paramount as we are excited to introduce some new item on the horizon this year. First off, we warmly welcome our new principal, Mr. Ray Santana, who comes to us with much experience, enthusiasm, and a thirst for partnership. We’ve also worked diligently to bring to the school new programming including fresh assemblies, a redesigned Art in the Classroom, new grade-wide activities, initiatives and more.  We will continue to work diligently over the summer to ensure the academics of the school year are well enhanced to make a positive impact on our school culture and climate. 


Thank you for your continued support, and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. 


Let’s Go Lincoln Lions!


Warm Regards,  

Laura Buccola

PTO President 2025-26
