Updating your holiday lights this year and looking for a place to donate your old lights that still work? Help us light up Lincoln for an art and music event that will be open to families, friends, and the community in December!
We will be collecting new* and gently used outdoor UL-rated lights, timers, and extension cords at Lincoln during the month of November. Please bring any working lights to Lincoln Elementary school and drop them in the Gray Bin marked PTA outside of the front entry.
For more information on the Light Donation Drive, feel free to email us at lincoln202pta@gmail.com
*Looking to donate new lights? Please consider purchasing LEDs as they are more energy-efficient.
Welcome Parents, Students, and Friends to our Read-a-thon!
This year, we are excited to announce that we will hold a Read-a-thon fundraiser. Our Read-a-thon is a program that brings students together with family and friends to encourage reading and to build literacy skills. It is the PERFECT segue into our GROWTH MINDSET WEEK! The main focus of the Read-a-thon is for everyone to know we are committed to improving reading skills and growing our fantastic elastic brains: turning “I can’t” into “I’ll try”.
Our Read-a-thon will start Monday, October 11th, 2021.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/sJyJwT and following the simple instructions. (search by teacher or by code you received from your teacher)
We understand that, as parents, you have high expectations for the quality of your child’s education but also have limited time. That’s why we chose to hold a Read-a-thon. You will find this to be the easiest fundraiser possible. By simply activating your reader’s personal page and using the promotional tools found there, friends and family anywhere in the world can show their support for your reader by making a donation to your Read-a-thon.
But wait, there’s more!
The Top 3 Readers and the Top 3 Earners at Lincoln will win a prize!

Financially, we are attempting to raise $10,000 in funds that will go towards: LincolnGrows enhancements for our outdoor classroom (including additional seating), D.E.I. initiatives that will support our physically, mentally, and emotionally diverse Lincoln Community*, events supporting our core value weeks, and school supplies requested to support staff and students alike.
Your involvement in the Read-a-thon will help your child develop a lasting love of reading. Help us encourage our children to expand what they think is possible during Growth Mindset Week as we expand their brains through reading! We hope each one of you will activate your child’s personal page the day your child brings home their paperwork.

Due to COVID, Fall Fest has to look different this year. Instead of our traditional large fundraiser, we are offering a scaled-back FREE Trunk-or-Treat event open to Lincoln Families on Friday, October 15th from 6pm-8pm. Please pre-register your family online to make sure we have enough treat bags for your children.
This event will include:
Come in a costume and dance the night away with your friends! Hit up the trunks, buy some food, grab some pics: you do you!
We need families to decorate your trunks at trunk-or-treat and display your car: prizes will go out to the winning trunks!
This event can’t happen without you! Sign up to volunteer for an hour and then enjoy the rest of the event with your family!
Due to COVID, we need to change the traditional Trunk-or-Treat to a Trunk-or-Treat Scavenger Hunt! How it works:
*Pre-registration for this event is strongly encouraged. Treat bags will be pre-assembled due to COVID, and we have no way of knowing how many siblings who will be joining your Lincoln student WITHOUT your registration. Treat bags will have candy in them, unless you opt for a treat-only option for your child in your registration. If you have any allergies, food sensitivities or religious restrictions, please specify this in your pre-registration.
Organizing a large event like this requires a lot of organization, money, and time behind-the-scenes, and we really appreciate your collaboration and pre-registration in this effort for us to safely get together with our Lincoln families! We are so excited to SEE YOU!
**This is not a drop-off event. All children need to be accompanied by an adult.**
We will be accepting bagged candy donations, just send the candy with your student to school. The classroom that collects the most candy before 10/8 earns an in-class dance party with JYNX THE LYNX!
Unable to volunteer but still want to support this event? You can provide a monetary donation here before 10/8.
We will be adhering to current IDPH COVID guidelines for outdoor sporting events.
Currently, masks do not need to be worn for outdoor activities.
Please bring your own water.
