2. Fundraising Updates

   1. Check out our slides here for a detailed PTSA funding update.  

   2. Fundraising Thanks to our community’s generous support, PTSA raised nearly $170,000 this year, 134% of our goal! We are thrilled to increase our support to Lincoln by funding at least 3 full-time paras next year. PTSA will work on a budget over the summer, which we will share/vote on during the September board meeting of 23-24. Thank you for making this year’s BASH so successful! 

   3. Enrollment Round one of school choice closed last month and is looking good for Lincoln! We are making calls to welcome new families and retain our current ones. If you have any questions, reach out to Ms. Emily or Ms. Kimberlie so that we can continue to ensure that Lincoln remains your #1 choice. We look forward to adding more families through Round two of Choice (open now - August 31).
      
      Increasing enrollment is a continued focus at Lincoln, and our best path to a resilient, better funded school! We all have a role to play, here are a few steps you can take now: 

      1. Put out a yard sign (purchase one here)

      2. Talk to 3-5 neighbors/friends about enrolling in Lincoln through Round 2 School Choice

      3. Invite your friends to our last Coffee on the Blacktop of the year or Bike Rodeo

      4. Share Lincoln enrollment information on your social media 

3. Strategic Plan

   1. We’re thrilled to report our annual goals have been partially or fully met across all 5 pillars. This speaks to the dedication of our staff, families and students. This plan will continue to guide us and our commitments next school year. If you have any questions, feedback or ideas for our priorities, be on the lookout for our end of the year survey.
