All Pro Dads This Morning

Please join us in the gym this Friday morning at 8:00am, to kick off Lincoln’s All Pro Dad initiative.  The origin of this program was to invite fathers into our school, to engage in positive dialogue with their children, on a regular basis.   Please keep in mind that the name of the program is “All Pro Dad,” and is focused on fathers, but anyone (moms, grandparent, friend) with a goal of being/becoming a positive role model in the life of their child is welcome.    This month’s topic is HONESTY.  As All Pro Dads we want to encourage our kids to learn the incredible value of honesty and how it is a daily decision to always tell the truth no matter the consequences. See you Tomorrow at 8:00!

Auction Volunteers Needed!

Auction items have been solicited and picked up, they have been wrapped and assigned a room, the catalog has been constructed and printed, the auctioneer has been hired and now we are ready for a truly large auction…but wait…we need you to volunteer for an hour on the day of the auction. The auction committee has worked all summer to get to this point and now they need your help.  Please click on this link and put your name in a slot to volunteer. We especially need room monitors!  This is an easy job that involves supervising the bidding that takes place in a specific room. This is a small time commitment, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the auction!

Programs like InSciEd.Out and Project Lead the Way did not just happen at Lincoln..It took parent volunteers, money and a committed staff to make it happen and the profit from the auction was a large factor in developing these programs.  The Gaga pits, supplies for the new makerspace room, robots for students to program are made possible through grants we receive and money raised by parents through the auction.  We need you to volunteer, attend and bid at this one day event.

Auction Update, Only 4 more days!!!

Keep sending in your Auction Donations!

Items delivered this week will be in the addendum available the day of the auction.

Lincoln Community Relations - Parents Needed!

The Lincoln Community Relations Committee does a number of events each year to reach families interested in attending Lincoln. We are looking for current Lincoln family members interested in working with us this year.

What do we do?

• Tours – We need Lincoln parents to present our tours. CLICK HERE FOR TOUR DATES AND TIMES.  If you want to know what you would be presenting, CLICK HERE FOR THE CURRENT TOUR PRESENTATION. Training is provided! 
• Kickoff to Kindergarten – Thursday, November 3 4:30-7:00 pm. This is the annual District event for all families with students entering kindergarten in Fall 2017 (or later). We need volunteers to staff a Lincoln table and talk to interested parents about Lincoln. We know that is the same night as the Lincoln Music and Mystery Event that starts at 6:00, but if we could get some people to work before 6:00, that would be helpful.
• Tour Poster distribution to preschools – We need Lincoln parents to distribute copies of our Tour Poster to preschools. Copies of our Tour Poster will be available (next week) in the Main Office with a list of preschools where they need to be distributed. 

If you are interested in working on any of these events or other Community Relations activities this year, please contact Cathy Nathan at natecate13@charter.net.

Winter is Approaching – Have Mittens?

We have been providing gloves and mittens for loan in the Media Center for those boys and girls who need them for outside breaks.  We are almost out of gloves/mittens for the students to borrow.  If you have gloves/mittens that you would be willing to donate for this purpose, would you please bring them to the Media Center?? 

Thanks!!!!  Janis, Dawn & Ms. B

Please contact calldgl@aol.com if you have questions or ideas
