With the winter season well upon us, many schools are witnessing some of the kids showing up with insufficient clothing to protect them from the harsh elements. The teachers at Lincoln Elementary have been helping these children for 25 years now.
The teachers used to just provide for around 12 students a year, but with the recession, this year was around 35 children. To help gather the extra funds the school held rummage fundraisers, which consisted of everything from school supplies to lollipops. Spirit days where another way where the school could raise money allowing kids to wear pajamas or nerdy clothes if they paid $1.
Lincoln Elementary raised $3,300 this year to help the needy school children of their community. A great accomplishment and something everyone, who participated in fundraising, can be proud of!
