A Heartfelt Thank-you from HEARTWORKS:

Dear Lincoln Families,

Thank you for your generosity during the Fall Food Drive!  Our school donated over 1500 items to the Oak Park/ River Forest Food Pantry.  Thank you for helping our neighbors who need food for their families. The Food Pantry said we should know that our donations made a difference in people’s lives!

Thanks!  Heartworks

Every Wednesday is Waste Free Wednesday!  Green4Good Volunteers will give out hand stamps to all kids who bring a waste-free lunch. For tips on packing a waste-free lunch go to the District 90 website and click on the “Zero-Waste Lunch Tips” flyer.

Would you like an opportunity to volunteer for one hour and see your child during a regular school day?  We need parent volunteers to come in on Wednesdays during the lunch hour (11:25-12:25).  Don’t know much about packing a zero-waste lunch?  Don’t worry.  We’ll give you a brief training so you’ll be an expert!  Please Click here to sign up.  Lincoln School and the Earth appreciate it!  Thank you.
