PPT Funds in Action

The PPT supports Lincoln in many ways.  The funds from the Auction go towards many projects, including the Lincoln Raised Bed Gardens.

Students start plants in their classrooms and then transplant them to the gardens.  Kindergartners planted gourds and mini pumpkins that they then harvested this week, and will use for a science and art project.  Third graders raised giant cabbage plants at home over the summer and then submitted pictures of themselves with their cabbage and its weight.

Thank you to the PPT for making this possible!

Fun and fast-paced volunteer opportunity available at the Greatest School Library in the Universe!

If you'd like to help or would like more information, please contact Janis (jamelvin@rochester.k12.mn.us) or Dawn (dawelch@rochester.k12.mn.us), ph 328.3562.  Thanks for considering!
