► "Project
School Bell" - Clothing, personal hygiene items, and
Prescription for Student Retention Program. 2010-2011 Chair:
Stacy Minner. This program
works to improve the self esteem of elementary through high
school students. Students are identified by the Lincoln County
School District’s staff based on their needs for additional
assistance and at the beginning of the school year, clothing and
personal hygiene items are provided.
Project School Bell works with the school district
throughout the year, going on several shopping trips. Through
improving the self image of these children, we hope to encourage
these students to stay in school. Project School Bell also pays
for prescriptions that are needed by students who are unable to
pay for needed medications. .

Dental Program - 2010-2011 Chair: Cindy McConnell.

sponsors a dental van through Medical Teams International,
