PPT CLASSROOM FUNDRAISER –YOUR DONATIONS ARE NEEDED!

It's a busy week with Meet the Teacher on Thursday, but please consider this important donation request.

Due to a change in district policy, Lincoln teachers are no longer able to ask parents/families to assist with defraying the cost of various necessary classroom supplies.

Therefore, the Lincoln PPT has taken over the responsibility to collect donations and raise funds to cover these costs.  We need your help!

Please consider making a voluntary donation of $25.00 per child to the Lincoln PPT to help cover the costs of these classroom supplies.

Make checks payable to “Lincoln PPT” and write “PPT Classroom Fundraiser” and your student’s name on the check. After Meet the Teacher on September 1, please drop off or backpack express your donations to the Lincoln office to be put in the PPT school mailbox.

Thank you.
