Dear Lincoln, Today the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee’s 4-year Downsize for Diversity fundraiser reached $120,738 in net sales against our $100k goal just 3 weeks before the 4-year finish line. What a journey it has been! The MCC collected donations from over 240 donors across 33 towns in Massachusetts, from Essex to Cape Cod. 46% of our donors were from Lincoln! Since the 1960’s Lincoln has been one of the Vanguard towns leading the way with bringing the METCO Program into our community. Thank you, Lincoln, thank you every single one of you who not only donated beautiful items, but purchased them. Thank you to all of you who stepped forward to volunteer at our estate sale events. Thank you to all of our friends, neighbors, and community partners who stepped forward in many a pinch to lift, load, unload, and more. We, WE, have changed the financial landscape of the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee FOREVER, as these proceeds have seeded a policy governed investment fund that represents our first step in the path to sustainability. It takes a village! Yes We DID!!! Warmly, The Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committeea 501(c)3 Organization Lincoln Massachusetts Public Schools K-8Lincoln, Massachusetts 01773
Lincoln MCC Our Vision: The MCC supports building a strong, anti-racist community in which students and families with different life experiences feel a deep sense of inclusion and belonging and recognize, accept, and celebrate each other's differences. We also support the METCO program by activating caregivers to help attain its goals and priorities. Our Mission: We will achieve our vision by: - Creating opportunities for Lincoln resident and Boston resident students and caregivers to build authentic and lasting relationships and an equitable exchange of welcoming experiences in both Boston and Lincoln (e.g., opportunities for social connection, after school programming for children, summer camp) - Supporting the school and community in its Anti-racism, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (AIDE) work (e.g., district NCBI training, caregiver education) - Advocating and supporting the METCO program at both a State and Local level - Organizing resources (funding, volunteers) in support of the METCO team with their work - Advocating for conditions that will promote a truly integrated public school environment (e.g. inclusive curriculum, vision for integration, etc.) Learn about the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee here: Lincoln MCC | | | | | | | | | | | Lincoln MCC Visit the post for more. | | | |
