Dear Lincoln School Composting Volunteers,
Thank you so much for your awesome support this school year! Since January, we have had six amazing volunteers helping out over multiple days. While this number is down from twenty unique volunteers from September-December, we still LhVE our volunteers and whether you joined us for one session or many, we truly appreciate YOU and your time.
As we look ahead to the end year, we are in dire need of volunteers and would be delighted to see you again– or to have you help spread the word about this important work we are doing in our school with others who might also be interested in volunteering.
If you'd like to spend time with your child as you volunteer, your child is welcome to join you at the compost table if they would like to pull up a chair and eat their lunch with you, don a pair of composting gloves, or use the coveted composting tongs!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions. Thank you again for your invaluable support!
Most sincerely,
Gwen & Nicole

The survey is completely anonymous. Thank you for your help!

On March 24th, we celebrated 60 years of METCO — six decades of opening doors, expanding opportunity, and transforming the educational landscape for thousands of diverse Boston students and suburban school communities.
As we honor this extraordinary legacy, we invite you to make a gift of any size in support of the next generation of METCO scholars. Every contribution — large or small — strengthens our mission and fuels the future.
Our Goal: 60 Gifts for 60 Years!
In honor of this historic anniversary, we are calling on our community to help us secure at least 60 gifts of $60 or more, one for every year METCO has been changing lives. Your support demonstrates the power and unity of the METCO community.
Our Students Are the Reason We Give
METCO’s 60th Anniversary is more than a celebration, it’s a recommitment to educational equity, opportunity, and belonging.
For six decades, METCO students have shown resilience, brilliance, and leadership.
