The Lincoln PTSA is looking forward to another year of supporting Lincoln High School students, families and staff.  Stay tuned for future posts and communications from the PTSA detailing our plans for the 2020-2021 school year.

The PTSA is only possible due to the voluntary support of the Lincoln community. Please consider joining the PTSA. You can sign-up now online: Join the PTSA (click here).

We hope you and your loved ones are all staying healthy and well during this time. It is hard to believe that school will not resume this year and that we will be sheltered in place for several more weeks, at least. It is important to stay home and know that we are all working together to flatten the curve.

PTSA SPEAKER SERIES EVENT!!

Please join us on Tuesday, October 29 at 7pm in the Lincoln Center on the campus of Lincoln High School for a special screening of the documentary, ANGST. This is a great opportunity for parents and students to learn more about managing anxiety. After the film, a panel of mental health professionals will be available for a brief Q&A session.

This is a FREE event! Snacks available for sale. 

Angst is a film and virtual reality experience that explores anxiety, its causes, effects and what we can do about it. The filmmakers’ goal is to have a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Angst features candid interviews with kids and young adults who suffer, or have suffered, from anxiety and what they’ve learned about it.  The film includes discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, as well as help, resources and tools.
