  • Get a friend or relative to attend the auction
  • Donate an item or service to the auction
  • Donate to the classroom basket
  • Give us a contact to someone that might donate
  • Donate to Lincoln through GiveMn.org or donorchoose.org. 
  • Buy SCRIP and get other family members to purchase SCRIP
…so many ways you can support your school and its unique programs!  

Where does the money go? With the Auction just over 2 weeks away we want to remind families why we do the auction, and answer the question “Where does the money go?” Money raised benefits students of all ages. At Lincoln we are a unique school, with a lot of unique expenses not covered by the school district. These are all big projects that make Lincoln uniquely different from other schools, but require financial support to continue.
  • Cutting edge classroom technology – from iPads to microscopes to wifi cameras.
  • InSciEd Out - Ongoing zebrafish experiments & aquarium maintenance. We have InSciEd Out zebrafish modules running at every grade level. 
  • Project Lead the Way – including new Student Engineering Modules and the new BioMedical and Computer Science Modules.
  • The little playground, which is twenty years old need repair and eventually will need replacement. 
We really do appreciate your support of the auction, and in turn all of the projects that make Lincoln the Greatest School in the Universe!
