FUN-draising
Our children at Lynch benefit from many educational and social activities made possible by the LPA. LPA strives to support the hard work and talents of our teachers, staff and administrators by providing funds for enrichment activities.
Most of LPA’s revenue is derived from the generous donations made by parents through our Direct Appeal. Our hope is that each family contributes $100, but any amount is welcome!
The LPA also raises funds for Lynch through the Amazon Smile, Box Tops for Education, our annual Can Drive and Stop & Shop A+ School Rewards Program. Information on each of these great companies and their programs to help us can be found below.
FREE MONEY FOR LYNCH!
There are several sources of "free money" for Lynch and last year we made over $1,000 from these sources. Our goal this year is $3,000 so register today and start shopping!
Amazon Smile
How to generate AmazonSmile donations
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible smile.amazon.com purchases to Lynch.
You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages at smile.amazon.com or with AmazonSmile ON in the Amazon Shopping app.
Remember, only purchases made at smile.amazon.com, (not www.amazon.com) or with AmazonSmile turned ON in the Amzon Shopping app on your mobile phone will generate AmazonSmile donations.
Box Tops for Education
All classes are collecting Box Tops for Education! You can find these on the packaging of products you buy for your home (cereal boxes, school binders, dry goods, etc.).
Look for this logo, cut it out and send it in to school with your child. Each one is worth $.10 for the classroom.
The Funding Factory
gives schools money for used printer cartridges, cell phones and other electronics. Please see their website at FundingFactory.com for a complete list. Drop off donations in the Main Office.
Direct Appeal – Annual Campaign
Direct Appeal is the primary source of funding for school-wide enrichment activities at Lynch. The money raised is used by the Lynch Parents Association (LPA) for the benefit of every child in our school.
No donation is too small or too large because it benefits all of our students. Our goal is to have every family participate in this year’s Direct Appeal campaign. While the suggested donation is $100, we encourage you to donate what works for your family. Truly, every and any amount is much appreciated.
Please remember that many companies offer a matching gift program, so please check https://lynchschool.com/matching-companies to find out whether your employer will match your donation to Lynch.
