We are looking for Lincoln parents to welcome and answer questions for prospective Lincoln parents at this year's Kickoff to Kindergarten on Thursday, November 2 from 4:30-7:00pm at Mayo High School. It is an open house format, so no formal presentations are required, just your friendly faces and a desire to talk about Lincoln and your experiences. You can participate for as long as you are available. Please email Cathy Nathan at natecate13@charter.net if you would like to help out.

The Lincoln Library Media Center Needs You
We are looking for volunteers to shelve books in the library. The time commitment is flexible. You can come in as little as once a week for 15 minutes. A little chunk of time goes a long way with re-shelving books.
We also need LYNX club volunteers to serve as
substitutes when other folks can’t make it. In this job, you will sort
returned books and stamp students’ reading logs. The time commitment is
8:45-9:30 a.m.
Finally, the library houses spare warm weather gear
for students. We are in need of gloves. Please consider donating a
pair of children’s gloves for our students.
Veterans Day Celebration
Please join us to celebrate Veterans’ Day at Lincoln K-8 on Tuesday November 7th
at 10:00 am.
We look forward to honoring our Veterans!

All Pro Dads Meeting (Friday, October 27)
The
main objective for All Pro Dad is to get fathers (or a significant
person in the child’s life) a chance to spend time with their child
(children) here
at school. With varying topics of discussion every month, the All Pro
Dads program allows time for fathers to have meaningful discussion with
the child while having a muffin and juice. This month’s topic is
responsibility.
The world needs responsible people to
take action, follow through, and be the role models people can trust. A
responsible person takes ownership of the role they’ve been given but
also asks for help when the going gets tough.
Let’s
rise up and show our communities what it means to be responsible. See you Friday, in the gym, at 8:00am!
The All Pro Dads are creating a basket for the Auction. Our Theme is Star Wars and any items you could bring on Friday would be greatly
appreciated.
