Gaga Ball Pit Update

The PTO and Lincoln administration have been working with the Department of Public Works and Recreation Department to determine where and how to build the gaga ball pit. After a busy summer, DPW will be able to help dig out the space to set up the pit this September. The funds raised from the Fun Run will go towards building materials, like gravel and paver stones for the set up, as well as the actual gaga ball pit materials.Where you come in:  We will need parents to help us build the pit. If you are interested in being part of the “construction crew,” keep an eye out for additional details and our sign-up form.

Welcome to another school year at Lincoln Elementary! Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we’re so excited to have you as part of our caring community.

The Lincoln Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group of parents, caregivers, and staff working together to support our students and enrich their educational experience. From organizing beloved events like the Glow Party and Turkey Trot to funding classroom resources, enrichment programs, and teacher appreciation efforts, the PTO plays a vital role in making Lincoln a joyful and inclusive place to learn and grow.

🌟 Annual Appeal: Why It Matters

Each fall, we launch our Annual Appeal as we rely on donations to support nearly everything we do to help make Lincoln a better place. Whether you can give $10 or $100, your support makes a real impact. Donations are tax-deductible.

  • 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

🎉 Get Involved

We invite you to join us—whether that means volunteering, attending events, or simply staying connected. Every helping hand strengthens our school community. To stay in the loop, you can:

  • Join our mailing list, newsletters go out weekly
  • Follow us on social media
  • Attend our monthly PTO meetings. Meetings are virtual and the schedule can be found here

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, laughter, and community spirit. We’re so glad you’re here!

Warmly,
The Lincoln PTO
