Fun Lunch for Friday 2/21 is Pasta.
Many thanks to Puree’s Pizza and Pasta, 1023 Lake Street, Oak Park and our dedicated Fun Lunch Volunteers.
Speaking of Puree’s, who wants to wait until Friday?
It’s Wednesday, which means Puree’s will donate 10% of sales to the Lincoln PTO for take out and delivery orders, as long as you mention our school. Please see the attached menu and take a break from cooking! Puree’s Menu
Get your Box Tops in by this Friday, 2/21
Our Winter Box Tops Contest is coming to an end. Get them into a plastic bag or envelope, write your grade and teacher name on it, and drop it in the box located near the Park Avenue lobby. The class that collects the most box tops will win a treat!
Our school gets cash for every Box Top collected to help buy the things it needs most. All those Box Tops really add up! Thank you for participating in this free fundraiser and earning cash for Lincoln School. Keep on clipping!
