What's happening in the DLP these next two weeks!

There's a lot going on these next two weeks in the Lincoln DLP classrooms. There's a need for classroom volunteers, as there are assessments happening.  Check with your classroom parents if you are available to help.

Don't forget to attend the Lincoln PTO's Fall Festival this Friday, October 26th at 3pm-6pm.  There will be games, prizes, a BBQ, a pie walk, bake sale, produce stand, and much more!  Also, remember to wear your orange and black on Friday!

Halloween is next Wednesday and Dia de los Muertos is on Thursday.  We need volunteers to help set-up on Thursday for our after school celebration for Dia de los Muertos.  You can sign up here:

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UPS

There will also be opportunities to help during classroom rotations during school hours.  Los Maestros are planning various Dia de los Muertos activities and will need assistance from parent volunteers to help with the rotations and activities.  More information to follow from your Maestros.

Don't forget to sign-up for the 2nd Annual Dual Immersion Parent Conference on Saturday, November 17th, at 8am-1pm at Boronda Meadows. The conference is free and so is childcare.  Children will have the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities, such as, dancing, African music and art.  To sign up, you can register here:

If you were at the last DLP parent meeting you know that we have received a $2,500 matching donation for Lincoln DLP "GET SMART" campaign, which means all we have to do is raise that same amount and the donor will match up to $2,500!  We have to act quickly, as the deadline is 10/31/12.  As you know, we are asking Lincoln DLP families to consider making a donation of $20 a month or a one time donation of $240; however, any amount, large or small, makes a difference (even $5 dollars).  Many, many thanks for those of you that have already donated!

Please consider reaching out to your close friends and family and ask them if they might consider giving to this very worthy cause. This is not a requirement, by any means; however, this goes directly to our children's classrooms.  Whether you give personally or you ask friends/family to give, your effort and consideration are greatly appreciated!!!!

If you want to read more about the campaign, please visit: http://www.dlpadvocates.org/#!donate

Again, thank you all for your time and consideration. 

A little elbow grease for our school!

If you haven't noticed, there are some new plants growing out in front of our school (just left to the main entrance).  Margaret D'Arrigo Martin had the idea of doing an afterschool study group and having the kids do a "good deed" afterwards.  If you know Margaret, you know she is a "get it done" person.  She spoke with our principal, asked McShane's to donate the plants and soil, and recruited a few like minded DLP families to chip in some elbow grease.  It was a dirty task and took a little more man power than anticipated, but in the end it was all worth it.  The children involved can admire the plants on a daily basis and know they did a little something to help our school look a little nicer.  Is there something you'd like to do for our school or our dual language program? If so, let us know.  We might be able to help your idea come to life.
