Fall fundraiser tops $5,000 on the way to $10,000 by month's end


As we enter the final four weeks of our fall Make a Mighty Difference campaign, we have already raised half of our $10,000 goal. A mighty big thank you to all of our donors!

If you haven't donated yet, now is the time; if you have donated, please tell your fellow Lucas parents why you believe in this effort and encourage them to join you in supporting our school

The Iowa City Community Schools Foundation is assisting us with online donations. You can donate online by clicking here, or by downloading this form and sending in with cash or a check payable to 'Lucas PTO' to:

Lucas PTO c/o ICCSD Foundation
1725 N. Dodge St.
Iowa City, IA 52245

When you contribute to this fundraiser, you can be confident that your full donation is directed to our students and teachers. Ask your friends with students at other area elementary schools about their sales-based fundraisers. Chances are, they will tell you they wish their school had a direct giving campaign like Make a Mighty Difference.

One of the major projects we hope to fund through this year's campaign will be significant improvements to the 3-6 playground.  We also have ongoing commitments to pay for class field trips (Kindergarten to Wilson's Orchard, 4th graders to School of the Wild, and more.)

Lucas PTO makes a Mighty Difference by funding:

  • Technology - Computers, Smart Boards, I-Touch
  • Enrichment - Field Trips, Visiting Authors, School of the Wild
  • Outdoor Educational Playscape - Outdoor classroom space, Nature based play, Prairie Pocket, School Garden, playground equipment
  • Family Activities - DEED events, Family supper, Free Family Nights, Fun Night
