 COME TO YOUR SENSES!

Explore your senses and how that brain of yours processes all that incoming information…with and without your permission! All are welcome but this is geared towards the upper grades. THIS IS NOT A DROP OFF EVENT!

Tickets are $5 per child or $10 for each family with more than one child. Sign up on the Lincoln PTO Webstore.

We’d love to have your help for this fun event! Please sign up on our Sign Up Genius Volunteer Page.
