Wacky Winterfest! PALS is busy planning and preparing for our largest fundraiser of the year, Wacky Winterfest.  Mark your calendars for a day of fun on February 17th from 11-2pm (NOTE THE TIME CHANGE FROM PAST YEARS!)  This event can only happen with every family taking a volunteer shift to work our fun carnival games.  Use the sign up genius soon to ensure your choice of game and time!

What to look for:

Raffle tickets will be coming home with your child on February 2nd.  Lincoln families and businesses have sponsored some amazing prizes including a Cedar Falls Family Pool Pass, Beats Headphones, $100 gift cards and more.  Each ticket costs $1 and money raised is used by PALS to support our students and school.  Watch for more details in the ticket packet arriving on Friday, 2/2!

How can I help?

We need YOU!  Beginning at 9am on February 5th, we need parent volunteers to help count and sort tickets and money as they are returned.  This happens every day from 2/5 through the end of our ticket sales on 2/16!  Did you know...in previous years, we have sold between 14,000 and 26,000 raffle tickets?  Join us in the Lincoln lounge on any or all days to assist with this project.   Many hands make light work!


We are collecting Box Tops and Milk Moola during the month of February! Please send these with your students!


Afternoon Pickup - This is a friendly reminder that families should use a parking spot to pick up at the end of the day. Please do not park behind cars using our parking spots. We appreciate your help in helping our pickup time to be safe for all!


2018-2019 Kindergarten Students: We need your help getting a list of all our 2018-2019 incoming kindergarten students.
