Run For Funds Results Are In!
The students of Lincoln Elementary have raised $19,261 for the RUN for FUNds this year, which exceeds our goal of $19,000! A big, giant thank you to the Lincoln community for your generosity and support for the school.
Kindergarten was the top fundraising grade this year and have won a lunchtime pizza party. The date for the pizza party will be scheduled with the teachers and communicated through backpack mail. The 4th grade came in second place and are winners of a popcorn party!
The top 2 fundraising students are Ethan Brashler (4-Heilingoetter) and Madelyn Suter (2-Sermeno). Ethan and Madelyn get their choice of passes to Studio Movie Grill, the Trampoline Park, or Day at the Spa.
Next week, Target gift cards will be distributed to students that raised over $50. Check out the RUN for FUNds bulletin board by the multi-purpose room for pictures and other good info.
And finally, MANY THANKS to the planning committee: Allison Ottolino, Heidi Ruettiger, Kerri Johnson, and Sarah Sitz.
