Dear families,

You did it!  We reached and exceeded our $8,000 Fun Run fundraising goal, which means new technology for our classrooms and library next year, exciting Creative Arts and Sciences programs for our scholars . . . and also means I’m getting silly-stringed!  We really appreciate all your support for Lincoln-Eliot and our kids, and we look forward to a fun morning of running, community-building, and team spirit.

Fun Run Monday

Sunny Day Schedule: Run will take place on field (if it is not raining out, parents are welcome to attend and cheer on our runners!). It is supposed to be a cooler day tomorrow, so please dress your scholars appropriately for the Run.
