LSPA Committees

Social Media Coordinator

Vice President

3 year commitment (year 1: VP, year 2 & 3: Co-President). It is set up this way to ensure there is a succession plan as folks roll off the board. The VP and Presidents meet monthly with school admin to plan out school events (e.g. picnics, field day, glow run, teacher appreciation, etc.), assist admin with ordering school supplies (e.g. sports equipment, snacks for teachers lounge, etc.) and also help with other things as needed. We have various sub committees that run the events (e.g. social committee, room parent coordinator, library volunteers, enrichment, etc.) so the board serves as oversight and is the liaison between school admin and parents.

School Store

This committee works to run our school store. They get parent and student volunteers, order merchandise, and keep track of sales.

Gifts Committee

This committee selects and purchases gifts for individuals (such as principal, librarian, and nurse) that the LSPA wishes to thank, as well as end of year gifts for all teachers and staff. The time commitment is sporadic throughout the year.

These programs are designed to enhance curriculum and include visiting scientists, artists, etc. Co-chairs oversee total enrichment (including overall budget) and are the liaisons for total enrichment programming. The time commitment is throughout the year. The co-chairs also represent Lincoln at Community Schools Association (CSA), an umbrella organization of all school enrichment activities.
