schools

To the editor:

On behalf of the Lincoln PTO, I’d like to extend our deepest thanks to our PTO Community Partners whose contributions have helped make possible our many enrichment activities at the Lincoln School. These activities include visits to the school by poets, dancers, and puppeteers; science, nature and engineering workshops; historical reenactments and more.

In 2015-16, our Community Partners include:

Doherty’s Garage	Tricon Sports
Donelan’s Supermarkets	Country Pizza
Barrett/Sotheby’s	Dr. Ivan Orup
Cambridge Trust Company	Fitness Together
AKA Bistro	Premier Cleaners & Tailors
Stonegate Gardens	Sky Salon
Clark Gallery	Something Special
Concord Printing	Whistlestop Café
Tim Siok Landscaping Services

Our children’s education is richer because of the help these community partners provide, so I hope you’ll join me in saying thanks for another great year at the Lincoln School!

Sincerely,

Kimberly Bodnar
Lincoln PTO Chair/President

To the editor:

It is the right season, so maybe we can do a variation of It’s a Wonderful Life in which we went back and saw the errors of our way and voted yes to the original school project proposal a few years ago (well, we did vote yes, but not by a supermajority). We would be just now completing the new Lincoln School project while enjoying state funds to subsidize it as well as reaping the benefits of lower construction costs and minimal interest rates. Also, our hard-working civic volunteers would now be fully focusing on the community center and Minuteman High School projects instead of now revisiting the Lincoln School project.

Unfortunately, I don’t think wings will be coming to our guardian angel anytime soon.

To the responsible groups: yes, please continue the fight for the new school. Our youngest residents need and deserve it! As for me, I will start preparing for the higher taxes that I will most likely have to pay now that the project will be much more expensive.

Sincerely,

Louis Zipes
