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.
2023-2024 Donors (April - June 2024)
In Their Own Way: Quarterly Spotlight
Whether it's support of the annual Scholar Showcase or a gift in support of school operations, Charles & Prudy Harker have been champions of TLA from the start. We are so grateful for the Harker's investment in expanding learning opportunities for scholars to explore and pursue their dreams. Thank you, Charles & Prudy, for your commitment to supporting a choice-filled life for scholars!

Quarterly Career Exploration: Healthcare, Transporation, Distribution & Logistics, and Education
This quarter, we focused on careers in Healthcare, Transportation, Distribution & Logistics and Education. Scholars at all grade levels learned about and explored career pathways in each of these areas. Middle and high school scholars with an interest in each field participated in a career panel highlighting different career pathways within the field. Field trips and a number of hands-on exploratory events rounded out each month's activities.

There Are Many Ways to Support TLA!
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
