Lincoln Educ Assoc

This Friday!!

It took two years, two successful petition drives, and 200,000+ signatures from Nebraskans to ensure voters could decide at the ballot box whether they support giving public funds to private schools. The answer – for the fourth time in the state’s electoral history – is NO.

Thank you to the community for donating over 580 books at our 4 participating bookstores in Lincoln! (both Barnes&Noble locations, Francie & Finch, & the UNL bookstore). There are so many great titles & we can't wait to shop for more to give out this spring to Lincoln's 1st Grs!

NSEA President Tim Royers came and talked to our FR Council last night!

We had a spooky good time last night with Halloween Trivia!

We raised over $575 for Harvest of books on Saturday at the shredding event! We had over 2,500 pounds shredded!
