Community Support
at TLA
The Lincoln Academy is grateful for the incredible support we receive from individuals, families, and organizations throughout the different corners of our community. Your valuable contributions of time, materials and funds make it possible for scholars to explore and enrich their learning, development and aspirations through field trips, technology, equipment, incentives, participation in school events and extracurricular activities. Your support for these activities and resources - things beyond the basics - enhances learning and outcomes for scholars.
​
We extend our thanks to everyone who, in their own way, has contributed to supporting scholars in preparing to achieve their dreams and live a choice-filled life.

SPECIAL THANKS: Matt Albers & Joanna Waxler
We extend our sincere gratitude to a generous TLA family whose recent donation of scholar uniforms and financial support for field trips is already making a meaningful impact. Their generosity ensures that our scholars are equipped with what they need to feel confident and prepared each day, while also opening doors to enriching, hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom. Support like this reflects the true spirit of our TLA community — one rooted in care, opportunity, and a shared commitment to helping every scholar thrive.
"Our family loves the joyful learning environment at TLA. We do what we can to support the TLA mission through donations and volunteering because we believe it takes a strong, involved community to be successful." Thank you, Matt & Joanna!
SPECIAL THANKS: Knapton Musik Knotes
​Knapton Musik Knotes is a small business in Janesville that carries a large selection of musical instruments and music, as well as offering lessons and repairs. They generously donated a drum set and two electric bass amps to the TLA music program. Both the middle school Build-A-Band exploratory class and high school Music Foundations scholars have been putting the equipment to good use! We are so grateful to have partnerships with businesses like Knapton's to help our scholars expand their musical talents and opportunities for learning.

Support Us Through Purposity!
​
At TLA, we’ve been working hard to ensure all of our scholars have the resources they need to be successful at school (and beyond). We are excited to announce our partnership with the Purposity app! Purposity (a blend of “Purpose” + “Generosity”) allows us to share out anonymous scholar needs to members of our school and larger community who want to help and be able to provide support through just a few clicks on their phone. Please help us reach our goal of 200 followers in order to be able to post more needs! To get started, download the Purposity app and be sure to follow The Lincoln Academy! If you have any questions about the app or supporting scholar needs, please contact Mrs. Nitz, School Social Worker, at (608) 690-5158 or jennifer.nitz@tlabeloit.com
