2018 Special Projects - START BRAINSTORMING NOW!

We had a very successful auction which allowed us to release $22,000 for special projects this year!
 
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: Smart Boards in the classrooms, the "Big Toy" playground equipment, STEM technology, Lincoln information sign, popcorn popper and 3D Laser Printer, just to name a few.
For more information about special projects and the consensus meeting, please visit this link for more details.
 
You helped raise the money, now please help decide how it gets spent! Come to the annual consensus meeting where we will be guided through the process of creating a proposal that funds items/experiences that will benefit the Lincoln community.
Special Projects applications are due Wednesday, February 14, 2018 by 3:00pm
