The Columbus Lincoln School PTA

~WELCOME~

Picture
Columbus-Lincoln PTA  is a 100% volunteer-based organization run by parents and staff.  The PTA coordinates and sponsors many community and fundraising activities to enhance the experience of our students and their families as they learn and grow. 

ALL families are encouraged to join and participate in the PTA.  Membership is $5 per member and meetings are held once a month during the school year.  Through our meetings, parents find out how they can get involved in supporting Columbus-Lincoln Schools through PTA events and activities.  Everyone is encouraged to attend these meetings to learn about and participate in the PTA’s support efforts.  If you can’t attend, meeting minutes are updated on our website.  The PTA officers always welcome your comments and ideas. 

The PTA is organized and led by a group of officers who are elected by the members of the PTA each year – President, 2 Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Secretary, Correspondence Secretary and Historian.  Issues and topics are brought to monthly PTA meetings for discussion and decisions are made via votes by the membership at meetings.  Committees serve to support a focused effort of the PTA. 

Meetings - PTA Meetings will generally be the first Tuesday of each month with a few exceptions.  Be sure to check out the calendar or website for the exact dates.  Meetings are in the Art Room at Lincoln School at 6:30 PM
