Chipotle Night Update

We raised $487.44 for our school!!! That’s a whole lot of burritos! Thank you so much to everyone that supported this fundraiser! Keep an eye on the calendar for more family friendly opportunities throughout the year!   Please do not forget to turn in your HyVee receipts.  There is a box in the foyer and tonight at conference would be a good time to drop them off.  Like Chipotle Night this is an easy way for YOU to participate and for us to raise money for our school.  

Next big EVENT is Auction 2018 on October 27

World Class Learning Opportunity with Mayo Clinic Simulation Center

We are in an amazing collaboration with the Mayo Clinic SIM Center as we have our entire Uppers’ Program participating in hands-on learning at our site and also at the SIM Center itself.

Students are learning about various medical procedures and techniques at the SIM Center at the Stabile Building downtown Rochester.
Students experience 8 hands-on learning stations which are 10 minutes in length.

Stations include: Ultra sound, Identify pulses and pupillary responses, basic anatomy, FLS training, CPR, AED, stop the bleed, and knot tying.

We are working on this pilot program creating curriculum and the partnership to hopefully expand to more grades and opportunities to come.

            The group of instructors are incredibly diverse, from around the world and phenomenal in sharing their expertise.  The mannequins can speak many languages and the technology is incredible as our students are learning in the midst where top surgeons and doctors train.

Please contact Mr. Sonju if you are interesting in helping fund the cost of the transportation and materials needed for this program.

We would like to maximize these amazing  learning opportunities for our students and would like to remove any barriers such as cost of bussing and materials to continue this learning back at our school.

PPT Funds in Action

The PPT supports Lincoln in many ways.  The funds from the Auction go towards many projects, including the Lincoln Raised Bed Gardens.

Students start plants in their classrooms and then transplant them to the gardens.  Kindergartners planted gourds and mini pumpkins that they then harvested this week, and will use for a science and art project.  Third graders raised giant cabbage plants at home over the summer and then submitted pictures of themselves with their cabbage and its weight.

Thank you to the PPT for making this possible!
