Our Lincoln-Eliot Leopards Fun Run!

Our Fun Run is coming up in just one week, on Thursday, June 1st!  Hopefully your kids have been coming home telling you about the kickoff event and the building excitement for this fundraiser, which helps bring much-needed funds to our school!

To Participate:
Register at MYBOOSTER.COM today if you haven’t already, and share your kid’s personalized link with family and friends!  To register your student on mybooster.com search for Lincoln-Eliot Leopard Fun Run.

The Fun Run at a Glance:
1. Kickoff Event:  Students learn what to expect from the fun days ahead and how the fundraiser will work.

2. Character-Building Videos:  Our school will follow along with a character-building program called Grand Land Adventure.  Students will learn about five different U.S. National Parks while building character and raising funds to hit our fundraising goal.  Ask your kids which park they learned about today!

Throughout the week, each class will earn fun rewards based on how much they raise on the classroom donation tracker.

3. Event Day:  This is the epic grand finale — the Lincoln-Eliot Leopard Fun Run on Thursday, June 1st!  Parents are welcome to join the school on the field to watch the kids run!

Our school has a fundraising goal of $15,000, which will go towards more creative arts and sciences programs, support for the teachers, library books, field trips, and more.

Thank you for supporting our school!

Family Science Night 4.27

Save The Date for our annual Family Science Night on April 27th from 5-7pm. This event will take place in the Lincoln-Eliot gym and is open to all students.

Students are invited to create a science project and present it to family, friends, and teachers on Science Night. Note: School time is not provided for this project. It is to be completed on your own time. 

Everyone who wants to bring a project must sign up by filling out this form by April 19th:

https://forms.gle/kqr17qoJqk4FcmHS9

We welcome projects at all levels and abilities!  Feel free to work in teams! And even if your student is not doing a project, we encourage everyone to come have some pizza, participate in fun STEM activities/workshops, and view their classmates’ projects.

Past projects have included investigations/experiments (e.g. How fast do apples rot?, What do dogs remember?), models/demonstrations (e.g. the Solar System, Lemon battery), research reports (e.g. Marie Curie, Snails), and collections (e.g. Slime). Google is an excellent place to look for ideas — for example: https://www.education.com/science-fair/

We look forward to seeing you all there, and we can’t wait to see your projects!
