Uppers Camping Experience
Did you know that the Lincoln Uppers
(6/7/8) go camping at Whitewater State Park every fall. They sleep in
cabins, cook, learn science, and get to know the people in their class
better. It is a tradition
that goes back more than 20 years. Teachers and students spend three
days camping and will return Friday very tired and smelling of smoke and camp.
Influenza Vaccine
October 10, 2016 is the date slated for Mayo Clinic/Olmstead Medical Center Influenza Vaccine Clinic for students at Lincoln.

LAST CALL -- PPT CLASSROOM FUNDRAISER -- CONTRIBUTE AT PARENT ORIENTATION!
PPT CLASSROOM FUNDRAISER - YOUR DONATIONS
ARE NEEDED!
The PPT is excited
to welcome everyone back for another exciting school year! We enjoyed seeing so many of you at Meet the
Teacher. Also, welcome to our new
families! We are looking forward to meeting you!
Due to changes in
district policy Lincoln teachers are no longer able to ask parents/guardians to
assist with defraying the cost of various necessary classroom supplies, such
as art supplies, incentives for students, supplies for InSciEdout lab, supplies
for classroom projects, Clorox wipes, Kleenex and hand sanitizer, just to name a
few.
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. Cash or checks are accepted. Make checks payable to “Lincoln PPT” and
write “PPT Classroom Fundraiser” on the memo line. Donations can be dropped off or backpack
expressed to the Lincoln office and put into the PPT school mailbox.
PPT Leadership will
also be available at Parent Orientation night on September 22 to collect
donations and answer any questions you may have.
Please feel free to
contact us with any questions.
Thank you for your
attention to this important change to our school, and thank you for your
continued support of Lincoln students and staff.

Flu Clinics This Fall
Preventing disease and keeping our children healthy
is a priority for all of us. One of the best ways to protect our
children is by vaccinating them against known illnesses. Schools can
play an important role to keep our children healthy
and stop the spread of the flu. That’s why Lincoln K-8 has partnered
with a team of nurses from Olmsted Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and
public health to offer the flu vaccine to students this fall.
National experts are recommending against anyone
getting the nasal spray this year. All school and local medical clinics
will only provide the injection. The school flu program will provide
non-medication pain relief for children.
Lincoln’s flu clinic will be on Monday October 10th in the afternoon.
Registration is required and can be completed through the registration link at
