Baby it’s Cold Outside - Please Dress in Outdoor Wear

It's that time of year again! The snow is starting to fall and the temperatures are dropping! Please be sure to send your student(s) to school with appropriate outdoor wear! We spend a fair amount of time outside during the school day, and most kids have transitions between buses, so it is so important that your student have warm clothing. Warm coats, gloves, hats, boots, and soon...snowpants! Believe it or not, we still have kids only wearing sweatshirts as coats! It is far too cold some days to be outside for as much as 20-25 minutes with only a sweatshirt to keep them warm! Please help us to help your student be safe and warm during these outside times!

Destination Imagination - Interested in Putting a Team Together?

Destination Imagination - A team event in which 4-7 members meet on a weekly basis with a parent coach in order to solve a long-term problem and several spontaneous ones. A regional event is held in Rochester in March at Willow Creek, and a state event is held in April at Armstrong High School in Plymouth, MN. Scripts, Props, Songs, etc., are all created and performed by students. Registration is in November, and the world event is held at the end of May or early June. The Regional event is open to 3rd thru 12th graders. The web address is: www.destinationimagination.org.

A parent volunteer is required for this event to take place. Please contact me if you are interested in putting a team together.

THANK YOU!!

The 2012 Lincoln Auction and Bake Sale was a great success and it could not have happened without all of you. Thanks to our amazing team of volunteers, bakers, donors and bidders, the Auction grossed over $26,000. With that money, the Lincoln PPT will be able to provide exceptional opportunities for our children. We truly have a rare and wonderful community at Lincoln that gives freely of their time and money to better the educations of all our children.

It’s not too early to start thinking about next year’s Auction. We are looking for someone to chair next year’s Auction with the fabulous and fun Lincoln parent Nicci Watson. If you are interested, please contact Nicci at onawat@aol.com. Other positions will also need to be filled next year and we would love to have you as part of the volunteer team. As the year progresses more information regarding volunteering will be circulated. Please consider giving your time to this very worthy project. Also, if you have Auction baskets left over from your winning bids, we’d love to recycle them for next year. You may simply drop baskets off at the office.

Finally, we had one basket that did not make it to its rightful owner and likely accidentally went home with someone else. Please check to see if you have the Go Pack Go basket among your baskets. If so, please contact the school so we can make arrangements to get it to the rightful winner.
