Lincoln Parent Generosity
Absolutely moved by the generosity of another Lincoln parent! Bill Riess graciously paid off all of the outstanding lunch accounts for the entire school last week! Nearly $900 to help folks start fresh here in 2019.
Former Students Returns
Zoe Masterpole studied microbiology at University of Nebraska Lincoln. She received minors in biochemistry and international agriculture. While she was there she worked for the USDA- agricultural research service doing research on stable flies.
Then she volunteered in the Peace Corps in Togo where she worked on agricultural development. She did a lot of reforestation and food security work.
She is now working on a master’s degree in development practice (economic development). Zoe presented to our uppers science classes last week and described her work and how her studies at Lincoln made her aware of the myriad careers associated with STEM.
HyVee Receipts (keep those receipts coming in…look what you have done so far)
Thank you all for turning in your HyVee receipts! It is fun to see that box filling up each week. We have a total of the value of the receipts as of today….$108,838.13, which means that Lincoln is guaranteed at least $400.00. We still have until June 8 to collect as many more as we can – hopefully we will be over 200,000 by them.
Please keep any receipts you get, because every receipts helps. This is a very easy fundraiser that will be spent on your children. Thanks again for all you have done – we are halfway to our goal (last year we managed to collect a total of $77,000 in receipts)!
