PPT CLASSROOM FUNDRAISER –YOUR DONATIONS ARE NEEDED!
It's a busy week with Meet the Teacher on Thursday, but please consider this important donation request.
Due to a change in district policy, Lincoln teachers are no longer able to ask parents/families to assist with defraying the cost of various necessary classroom supplies.
Therefore, the Lincoln PPT has taken over the responsibility to collect donations and raise funds to cover these costs. We need your help!
Please consider making a voluntary donation of $25.00 per child to the Lincoln PPT to help cover the costs of these classroom supplies.
Make checks payable to “Lincoln PPT” and write “PPT Classroom Fundraiser” and your student’s name on the check. After Meet the Teacher on September 1, please drop off or backpack express your donations to the Lincoln office to be put in the PPT school mailbox.
Thank you.

Where a Project Idea and Creativity will take You
When Abby, Kylee, Samantha, and Zoe found
out over 2.4 million healthy cats and dogs were being “put down” each
year, after not being adopted, they decided to do something about it.
For their “Genius Hour” project, they
decided to launch a website dedicated to bringing awareness to this
problem. Their site,
Animals United, also provides links to local businesses for pet adoption. Check out their site,

Wear Red or Blue Tomorrow!
Please have your students wear red or blue shirts Friday 3/11!
This week is AmeriCorps Appreciation week! The Math Corps color is blue
and the Reading Corps color is red. Lincoln’s AmeriCorps tutors Adam,
Ginny, and Bridget are at Lincoln every day helping students in Math
and Reading to help them succeed at their grade level. Please have your
students wear red or blue on Friday to show appreciation for the hard work that these tutors do for students though
the Reading and Math Corps.
Reading Corps Position
Experience life-changing growth. Become a Minnesota Reading Corps or Minnesota Math Corps tutor.
Would you love to help children grow their reading or math skills, succeed in school and get extra support? If your answer is yes, you can be trained to serve as a tutor with Minnesota Reading Corps or Minnesota Math Corp in a Rochester Public School site. Whether you want to explore an educational career, reenter the workforce, or give back to your community, you can succeed as a tutor. Last year, Minnesota Reading Corps and Minnesota Math Corps provided direct services to over 40,000 children in more than 900 schools across the state.
As a tutor, you'll see a student's progress – in their test scores, in their other school work and in their eyes as they light up with the satisfaction of knowing they can do it. No child wants to stand out because they can’t learn as quickly as other kids. We’re helping more kids catch up and soar on their own. And you can be part of it.
Tutors receive on-site support from specially trained school mentors. Tutors are paid a living allowance, are eligible for an education award of up to $5,775 and given federal student loan forbearance. Tutors 55 or older may gift the award to a child or grandchild.
You can help by telling a friend or family member about our school’s open positions and openings statewide! Applicants can learn more and apply at www.MinnesotaReadingCorps.org or www.MinnesotaMathCorps.org. Strong preference is given to tutors who can begin in August. Send questions to recruitment@servemnaction.org or call 866-859-2825.

place to start. This committee plans fun family
events for the school such as: Ice Cream Social, Pizza Bingo, Movie
Day, Carnival and much more. We usually meet about 8-10 times throughout
the school year to discuss and plan events. If you are interested The
Social Committee is having a meeting Thursday,
March 10th at 6pm at Fiesta Cafe. Feel free to stop in and check it
out. If you are unable to attend feel free to email us at

The Lincoln Ellen Hunt Alumni Scholarship
The
Lincoln Ellen Hunt Alumni Scholarship chairs are looking for two parent
volunteers to participate as a member of the scholarship selection
committee.
This is a
one-time volunteer opportunity where members of the committee
participate in reviewing scholarship applications, meet for a single
evening to dialogue and select a recipient. Members
of the committee are given the applications to review prior followed by
a selection meeting on May 11th (typically lasting for 1-2 hours).
No experience needed, however
selected members need to be available on May 11th .
If this would be a good fit for you please contact Jodi Kruse (jmkruse22@gmail.com) or Melissa Engelken (melissae.724@gmail.com) by email.
