Facebook and its fans are credited with helping students at Lincoln Elementary School win a contest that is nothing to sneeze at. The school placed as one of the top 100 schools in the country in the Kleenex Brand Field Trip Promotion,” earning them a $5,000 check from the company. School supporters voted on Facebook, giving Lincoln the most votes during the promotion. “This particular award is so special because it was a community effort, we had parents, teachers, children, community people, businesses and everyone, helping us achieve this goal,” said Principal Lynne Shuttleworth of Lincoln Elementary Magnet School. The only stipulation by Kleenex is that Lincoln use the award money to take students on educational field trips throughout the school year.
