Join us for a delicious evening at Culver’s on Tuesday, September 24th, from 4:30-7:30 PM. Enjoy a meal out and support Lincoln PTO, as 10% of all sales will be donated back to our organization!
But that’s not all—there’s a special opportunity for students and their families! Culver’s is offering a chance for students (with a parent or guardian) to volunteer during the event. Help serve our community, and you’ll have the opportunity to raise extra tips for our PTO! Please sign up here for one or more shifts. We welcome your participation in as many shifts as you like!
We can’t wait to see you there and make it a memorable night for everyone!
Trunk or Treat
PTO is considering hosting a Trunk or Treat at Lincoln on Friday, October 25th, and we want to hear from you! Your feedback will help us determine the level of interest and guide our planning.
Please take a moment to complete this short survey by Friday, September 13th. Your input is crucial for making this event a success!
So what exactly is trunk-or-treat?
Trunk-or-treat is a fun, community-oriented event where people decorate the trunks of their cars with Halloween themes and hand out candy to kids. The setup usually involves cars parked in rows with their trunks open and decorated, creating a festive atmosphere for trick-or-treaters.

Nutrition
Nutrition Services is excited to share that we have contracted with a new software company to manage our meal and application program. My School Bucks is no longer active, but the new software is called LINQ Connect and all student balances have been moved over. This program offers many new features that weren't available before. We're sure you're going to love it!
As a reminder, school meals are free for students this 2024-25 school year! We encourage everyone to complete a Free & Reduced application, as it provides benefits to you and the district such as grants, program funding and fee waivers.

For more information, please review these Frequently Asked Questions.
Do families need to fill out the free and reduced meal benefits form?
YES! Those who qualify may receive discounted or waived school fees, utilities support and more. Click on the "share information" for the school to be able to waive these fees automatically.
WHY should I fill out a meal benefits form?
The HSMA program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on that income information to support meals for ALL students. Other state and federal grants for school are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates - this could mean more money for your school!
Can my student still bring lunch from home?
YES! Students are welcome to bring lunch.

King Soopers Fundraiser
The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.
One of the ways in which we do this is through our King Soopers Community Rewards program. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card.
Here’s how it works:
1. Create a digital account.
A digital account is needed to participate in King Soopers Community Rewards. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.
2. Link your Card to an organization.
Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the King Soopers Community Rewards selection on your digital account.
- Sign in to your digital account.
- Search for your organization under community rewards-Lincoln Elementary School
- Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”.
Your selected organization will also display in the King Soopers Community Rewards section of your account. If you need to review or revisit your organization, you can always do so under your Account details.
3. Your organization earns.
Any transactions moving forward using the Shopper’s Card number associated with your digital account will be applied to the program, at no added cost to you. King Soopers donates annually to participating organizations based on your percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending associated with all participating King Soopers Community Rewards organizations.
Please reach out with any questions! Happy Shopping!
