Ending the day full of gratitude for all of you. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and support made this year the best Fun Run yet. Together, you raised $34,364, beating our goal by over $4,000 and more than doubling last year’s total. We set an ambitious goal and you blew it out of the water.

But beyond fundraising, you showed up to cheer on these kids and show them the strength and support of the Lincoln community. The sea of family and friends at each run was incredible and your enthusiasm made the day so special.

To the staff: Thank you for embracing this event, coming up with the idea to be in costume, and pouring love and support into our kids day in and day out. We love you so much!

To every one of you who donated, made a sign, spread the word, or cheered on the kids: Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are excited to put your donations to work and continue making this community a place where students, staff, and families thrive.

More pictures coming soon!

It’s Fun Run day!! ☀️

We’re ready to cheer on students - come join us! Lower House is 10-10:30, Upper House 2:15-2:45!

24 hours to go! Here's what you can expect at Fun Run tomorrow:
👕 Student shirts will be distributed tomorrow morning by classroom teachers.

👟 The Lower House run is from 10-10:30 am and Upper House is from 2:15-2:45 pm. Students will come out to the track close to the start of their run. Ms. Foley will lead the kids through a warm up and then the kids will head to the track.

📣 Families and friends are encouraged to come cheer on the kids! Bring a poster or pom pom, or you can make a poster at the event - we'll have markers and poster board. Fun Run is on the dirt track near the Upper House playground. You do not need to check in at the office - just walk over to the track!

💰 Donations are due Friday to be eligible for prizes. If you've sent cash or checks to your student's teacher, those will be added to your student's 99 Pledges balance on Friday or over the weekend. Prizes and winners will be announced next week!

🎩 The last 3 teachers are SO.CLOSE. to hitting the $500 level - help them get there so they can wear a costume at Fun Run! Don't have a student in those classes? You can donate to the main campaign in 99 Pledges and note which teacher you're supporting, or you can send us a Venmo () and we'll add it to that teacher's balance. At 9:20 am, Ms. Liddy is $20 away from $500, Ms. Foley needs $25, and Mr. Little needs $205.

🖤 We still have 2 extra Fun Run shirts - all are black, size Adult Medium. If you want a shirt, send us $5 through Venmo () and you can pick up the shirt tomorrow!

This is the PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year and we're hoping to raise $30,000 to cover critical PTO programs. If we hit our $30,000 goal, we'll skip the PTO winter fundraiser! We appreciate every donation - big or small - and are grateful for your support!

Less than 48 hours until Fun Run and we have FIVE teachers who haven't hit the $500 mark - let's help them out and get Ms. Foley (4th), Ms. Laskie (K), Mr. Little (3), Ms. Liddy (2), and Mrs. Brown (3) in costumes!

If your student isn't in those classes, or if you're part of the greater Lincoln community and you want to donate directly to those classrooms: Send us a Venmo () or donate to the main campaign through 99 Pledges and in your comment, tell us which teacher you want to support.

It's Fun Run week!!!

💰 Over the weekend, we hit our $22,500 milestone, unlocking a movie and bring your stuffie to school day! Teachers will share plans for their rooms.

🍿 Our next milestone is $30,000 and reaching that goal earns a school-wide popcorn party!

🎩 Most importantly, there are SEVEN classes who haven't hit the $500 mark. Let's get those donations in so Mrs. Yacks, Ms. Hamel, Mrs. Brown, Ms. Foley, Ms. Laskie, Ms. Liddy, and Mr. Little can get in on the fun!

Donations are due Friday to be eligible for prizes. You can donate through 99 Pledges, send cash or a check (made out to Childs PTO) with your student, or Venmo us (). Please make sure all cash, checks, and Venmo donations include your student's name and teacher for credit!
