Why should I join the PTSA?

The PTSA serves as a platform for parent and teacher involvement within our school and advocate for the opportunity for all children to achieve their highest potential.  We are a group of volunteers who wish to create a welcoming, supporting, and engaged learning community so that our children can thrive in all areas of their educational growth.

Do I need to pay a fee to join?

The Lincoln K-8 PTSA covers dues so all parents can be involved as active participants in the future of our school at no cost. A portion of these dues goes to support the work of the MN PTA and National PTA to advocate for all children at the local, state, and national level.

But, I’m just too busy…

Life is busy! Lucky for you, there are many ways in which you can support PTSA that do not require an ongoing commitment or large chunks of time. It takes ALL OF US to support our children and our school.  Here are some easy ways to get involved!

1) Attend a monthly meeting.  Our meetings are on the third Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:00pm and listed on the event page.  The meetings occur in a relaxed atmosphere and place no pressure on attendees and have a virtual attendance option for those unable to be at the meeting.  This is a great way to meet other Lincoln parents and connect with the school.

2) Volunteer. We have many events throughout the year that require volunteers to be successful.  Volunteering can be as simple as helping one time at a family social event or can be done as part of one of our committees that help plan activities and fundraisers.  Volunteering is the easiest way to fit some PTSA fun into your busy schedule!  Be sure to register with Volunteers In Education (VIE) Raptor System if you will be within the school while volunteering.

3) Spread the word. Our meetings, activities, organization and school are at their best when we have active family engagement.  Even if you can't attend an event, help us spread the word to ensure all families are aware of what is happening around Lincoln and how we can best support our school community.

4) Donate.  There are many ways in which you can donate to Lincoln.

• Turn in your Hy-Vee receipts. For every $25 in receipts, Lincoln receives $1.

• Shop with Amazon Smile, adding Lincoln K-8 as your charity of choice.

• Scan your grocery receipt in the Box Tops for Education app within 14 days of purchase.  Set Lincoln K-8 as the recipient of your earnings.

• Donate items, services, or gift cards to our annual auction.  The auction is our largest fundraiser that supplies our budget, and thus, supports many of the unique things that makes Lincoln K-8 special.
