We strive to create connections that empower, unify, and strengthen the Lincoln family. We’re all about bringing our school community together, creating joy and memories, and fostering confidence within our Lincoln Lions.
We are comprised of parents, guardians and family members of Lincoln Lions, as well as staff and faculty liaisons. We are a Busy Parents’ PTO, which means we aim to be adaptable to the packed schedules of our members, who have demanding work schedules, time-consuming caretaking duties and various commitments. If you’d like to be involved at Lincoln, we will help you do that no matter when and where you have availability.
As a parent or guardian of a Lincoln student, you are automatically a member of the PTO—we do not collect dues or require formal membership. Whether you’d like to volunteer once a year, contribute from home, or take on a board position, we can find a role for you. Reach out on our Contact page!

Our DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) statement is as follows: Lincoln PTO celebrates the diversity of our Lincoln Elementary community and strives to promote equity and inclusion. We value all members of our community, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or country of origin, and strive to ensure that Lincoln is a joyful and enriching place for all.
