Quesadillas for Friday 1/23 Fun Lunch

Many Thanks to our dedicated Fun Lunch Volunteers.  Remind your kids what you ordered – Cheese or Chicken!

 Lincoln Yearbooks now on sale!

If you think you ordered a yearbook last September, you didn’t.  Books were just added to the PTO Web Store this week.  Reserve a copy for your student(s) before March 1st and you’ll save $5. $20 gets you a hardcover book and souvenir pen.  Distribution is during the Ice Cream Social at the end of May.   Order on the PTO Web Store today!  Don’t forget to save your confirmation email from the PTO Web Store so you can quickly confirm your order when “end of the school year” panic sets in!

Downloading your camera?  Send us some photos for the Lincoln Yearbook!

If you have some great photos of the First Day of School, or any PTO or School Events (like the Pancake Breakfast, 5K Run, Halloween parties, Math Night, Book Fair Story Time, or Winter Concerts) you can email them to Cheri Gearhart    “cheri AT gearhart.com”  or  Ann Mills  “anncieslica AT msn.com”   Thank you!
