The Lincoln PTO is here to support and enhance the educational experiences of our students by providing an organization for parents, school, and teachers to work cooperatively and by providing financial support for programs funded outside of the annual school budget. Our success depends on dedicated volunteers and ongoing fundraisers. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, email Lincoln@melrosepto.com. To contribute to our fundraising efforts, click here.
Turkey Trot Fun Run
Fundraising for the Turkey Trot Fun Run starts this week! The Turkey Trot is Lincoln’s largest fundraiser, and this year, we’re aiming to raise $30K for school initiatives by our event date, November 13. This week, we ask that you register your student(s) on the fundraising portal so they can easily get donations from family and friends. Each week, students who fundraise any amount will be entered to win a prize announced on Friday. THANK YOU Lincoln Lions, for supporting another amazing year of fun and fundraising to support our amazing school community!

Share about your culture in the newsletter!
Lincoln’s DEI team hopes to regularly include information about the many cultures that make up our community, for heritage months/days, holidays, or just because.
We are looking for volunteers to write something short (150-200 words) for our newsletter or collaborate/consult with a DEI rep that accurately represents your culture or holiday.
- Examples of upcoming celebrations:
- American Indian and Alaskan Heritage Month (November)
- Diwali (November 8th)
- Black History Month (February)
- Anything else important in your culture or country!
Please email meghan.p.rosenberg@gmail.com or lincoln@melrosepto.com to volunteer or learn more.

- Drop off cash or checks at the school office (make checks payable to Lincoln Elementary School PTO)
- Donate online through PayPal
- Check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program
