We are trying to raise funds for Camp Invention, which is a summer STEM camp for kids. Any online donations made on Friday, April 26, will be matched! All money raised will go towards providing scholarships for deserving students in the Ottawa Elementary schools. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 on this day. That sounds like a lot. However, if 250 people donated at least $10 each, and each donation is matched, we would reach our goal! Please see the attached flyer for more information. Please forward to as many people as you can. Thank you for your support and help with this goal. You can use the following link to donate.

Alfano’s Pizza Fundraiser starts today! Forms due back on Friday, April 12.
Hello Lincoln families,
Selling locally made frozen pizzas from Alfano’s has been our biggest PTO fundraiser in the last few years. The pizzas are 12 inches and come in all the most popular flavors, plus some local specialties:
Cheese

Sausage & Pepper
Supreme (mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, canadian bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, onion, garlic)
White Garlic
White Garlic & Sausage
Meat Lover (sausage, ham, pepperoni, hamburger, Canadian bacon, beef, bacon)
Italian Beef

How it works:
🍕 Use the order form that’s coming home with your student this week to take orders from friends and family, and collect cash in advance.
🍕 Return completed order forms and payment (cash or check) to the school by Friday, April 12th.
🍕 Alfano’s makes the pizzas to order and will call you when the pizzas from your order form are ready. You will have 3 days to pick them up at Alfano’s. Pizzas will be frozen.
🍕 You deliver to your pizza customers. 🚗
🍕 Some night you don’t want to cook, you pull out a pizza or two, bake, and enjoy!
🍕 PTO uses its share of the funds (about $5/pizza) to treat students (Outdoor Movie Night!) and teachers (Teacher Appreciation Week!) and help improve school facilities.
🗓️ Next PTO meeting is Monday, April 8 at 3:30pm in the school. All are welcome. Just push the buzzer at the main doors on the north side of the building and say you’re here for PTO. Follow us on Facebook to get info about attending meetings virtually.

Dear Parents,
The Regional Office of Education 35 is partnering with TPMA as our strategic consultant to conduct a study regarding the impact of early childcare in our region.
From your view as parents with childcare needs, this survey is meant to gather information about your accessibility to early childcare, barriers, and effects on employment and career development. Your participation will support and guide the regional childcare priorities and build a shared vision to support working parents in our region.
Your participation is voluntary, and information will be kept confidential and used only for research purposes. The survey is also available in Spanish. The survey is open through Monday, April 1.
Here are the links to the surveys:
