It’s Time to Start Planning for 2018 Special Projects!!!!!!!!


Due to a very successful auction enough monies were raised to support the PPT budget as well as fund $22,000 worth of Special Projects!!!!

What are Special Projects?
* Special Projects can be any project or item that will benefit the school. Special Projects can be submitted by parents, grandparents, teachers or students of Lincoln.
* Special Projects are paid for by money that is raised from the annual Lincoln Auction after the PPT budget has been funded.
* Special projects funded in the past include: Support of Media Center and Computer Lab Re-Visioning, Green Screen paint, the "Big Toy" playground equipment, STEM technology, Lincoln information sign, popcorn popper and 3D Laser Printer just to name a few.
