On Saturday, September 10, 2022, Lincoln County R-III School District held their first IMAGINATION CELEBRATION. This successful celebration, with over 300 folks in attendance, was an effort to bring community awareness about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This program offers free books monthly to all children in the Lincoln County R-3 School District who are ages 0 thru 5 years of age.
Due to recent funding changes, R-3 must match donations from the DPIL Foundation to continue this program. Prior to the celebration, monies totaling over $10,500 from sponsors, including LCARSP and others, has been collected.
As they continue to raise money, donations close to $300 were received at the event from private donations and Kona Ice. There was no entry charge for the event and all activities and entertainment were free of charge. The school district covered food expense. The event was such a success, they plan on making it an annual event.
Addition fundraising continues with the next organized effort on October 11, 2022, at Chihuahua’s Restaurant in Troy. They will donate 20% of all proceeds from 4-9 to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
Anyone wishing to donate, please contact the Early Childhood Education Center at 1601 South Main Street, Troy, MO 63379. Phone #636-463-3020
