Get Ready for Our Lincoln Color Craze Fundraiser!
It’s time to rally together for our Lincoln Color Craze fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $30,000 for a new entryway mural and updated event seating. We will have our kickoff pep rally on Monday morning and end with a fun-filled Color Run on November 20.
To make things even more exciting, if we raise $30,000, students will get to SLIME Mrs. Ashlock and Mrs. Miller!
Plus, Great Wolf Lodge is joining in the fun! When our school reaches our goal, every student earns a Great Wolf Lodge waterpark day pass. Make sure your family is registered on MyBooster.com so your student can receive this reward, then share your student’s donation page with friends and family to get there!
Here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Sign up at MyBooster.com
2️⃣ Share your student’s donation page with friends and family
3️⃣ Donate if you’re able
Thank you for your support!
P.S. Be sure to use an email address you check regularly to receive your Great Wolf Lodge digital day pass.
Parent Conferences - We Need You in Order to Meet Our Goal!
Our campus goal is to have 100% of our students represented at a fall parent conference! If you haven't already, please connect with your child's teacher to schedule and have your conference by November 20.
Our teachers are making time before school, after school, and during their conference periods because they truly value the partnership we share with our families. We kindly ask that you respect their time by attending your scheduled conference. If an emergency arises, please communicate with your child's teacher as soon as possible so they can work with you to reschedule.
These conferences are an important opportunity to celebrate your child's progress, discuss areas for growth, and share ways you can support learning at home. You know your child best, and together, we make the strongest team! Thank you for partnering with us to help every student succeed!
Volunteers Needed for Veterans Day Decorating!
We would love your help getting our cafeteria ready for our special Veterans Day program! Join us Monday (11/9) after school from 4:15–5:30 PM as we decorate and prepare to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
Everyone is welcome to help! Whether you can stay the whole time or just stop by for a little while, we appreciate your support in making this a memorable celebration for our veterans!
