Introducing... the Box Top Challenge!

Last year, Lincoln received about $600 from Box Tops for Education for submitting clipped Box Tops, which can be found on many grocery items. This is equivalent to about 2 Box Tops per Lincoln student per month.

Starting today, we are launching a school-wide Box Top Challenge in order to increase participation to 10 Box Tops per student per month for the remainder of the 2016-2017 school year. By meeting this goal, we could raise as much as $3,000 for Lincoln! As part of this challenge, there will be three individual prizes awarded each month, and the classroom that turns in the most Box Tops by May 15 will win a party!

Box Tops for Lincoln!

Parents:  We will be setting the Lost and Found items out on tables next week.   Please stop by before Friday December 2^nd and see if you can claim anything.

Anything unclaimed will be taken to Goodwill.

Do you know that Lincoln Sells SCRIP?

Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates from national and local  retailers.  They’re the same gift certificates that you buy  at the store.  Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.  See Attachment

You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money.  It’s simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount.  Member families like ours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue.  And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:

·        The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…

·        Our school gets a regular source of revenue.

The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny.  Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program!  And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out. See Attachment

The money generated from this program will go directly to supporting technology improvements at Lincoln.  SCRIP is available in the office
