As a PTO, we seek to keep you informed on the school community in an unbiased manner. Thus, we wanted to make you aware that Lincoln-Eliot teachers, staff, and supporters will be gathering outside the school on the morning of Wednesday, February 15th, to show their support for the upcoming budget override vote beginning at 7:30 am until school starts. They welcome anyone who would also like to show their support of the override.
This week, the 4th grade welcomed their first CAS (Creative Arts & Sciences) presentation of the year with Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women: Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Sheryl Faye is a one woman performance, highlighting the positive impacts women have made in history. The show utilizes props, costumes and various forms of media, to create a truly memorable historical performance.
CAS programs are organized and paid for by the LE PTO.
For those who missed the last PTO meeting, here is the slide deck. We discussed the upcoming override and what impacts it will have for LE if it does not pass. We also heard updates from CAS, FORJ, and upcoming events that need your help to happen (Science Fair).
Keep sending us your students’ yard sign designs! This year’s topic is all about addressing speeding in school zones and onschool property. The contest guidelines are available on the Encouragement page of our website. This is open to grades 2 – 8 and multilingual signs are highly encouraged! All submissions are due by Friday, February 17, 2023.
Hi L-E Families,
Happy Lunar New Year to all of you who are celebrating! As you may have heard, there is an important vote coming up in Newton regarding the override. The PTO has included some information about what an override is, the 3 questions being voted upon, and additional resources about what will happen if the override passes or not. Although our school construction plan is not part of this override, this vote will still affect Lincoln-Eliot and every school in NPS due to the operating budget for next year.
Please note, our next general PTO meeting will be Tuesday, January 31st at 6pm via Zoom. We hope to “see” you there!
