Grandparents' and Grand-Friends Day 2026 - Preparation & Donation Request
Thursday, September 17 2026
One of the most anticipated events of the year is almost here! We are very excited to celebrate the wonderful Grandparents and Grand-Friends in our students' lives. This event brings together hundreds of Lincoln Academy's finest, so we will need "All Hands on Deck!" We will have a food donation table at morning drop-off on Thursday, September 17th, and at pick-up on Thursday afternoon. If you forget to bring at either of those times, last minute drop-off is at 6pm in the student center on Thursday evening. This is a very popular event to volunteer, so pick your spots early! Keep in mind we MUST prep as much as we can the night before.
*Please include your first and last name when you sign up. Also note that one item on the sign-up equals one sign up slot. If you intend on purchasing more than one item, please sign up under multiple slots.*
**As a reminder -- only those parents who volunteer are able to attend. We simply don't have space for all our parents since we usually have more than 600 attendees!**
As we get closer to the event, we will add more slots for volunteer needs for night preparation before the event, please check back if you would like to help!
THANK YOU!!

Help receive and collect donations, then transport them to the proper storage location for preparation.
We are in need of someone to fold and collate the programs! We can pass everything to you on Thursday morning (and possibly before then). We would need all folded programs returned by pick up time on Thursday afternoon (3:30pm).
We will need a volunteer to pick up bagels at Einstein's (80th/Wadsworth) before 2pm on Thursday afternoon. Einstein's closes its doors at 1:55pm. Please deliver to school at afternoon pickup.

Our Music Team has worked very hard to prepare our students to perform on Friday. We would like to honor each member of the team with a bouquet of flowers.
Plastic/Disposable needed, can be purchased at the Dollar Store.
Volunteers will be provided with completed decorations and direction for set up from Tara or Mia.
We'll need help with a variety of tasks in student center and the gym and help with signage. More hands make light work!
We'll need help merchandising the Spirit Wear tables along with PTO and Beverage tables in the gym. There will be additional hands to help with these tasks in the gymnasium once signage is complete. More hands make light work!
Volunteers will need to bring knives and cutting boards to help prep food for Friday morning. The more people we have to help set up food and arrange pastry platters, the sooner we can all go home!
