Hello, Lincoln families and friends! The Lincoln Student Makers Marker is coming soon!

Since 2010, the Winter Market has brought Lincoln families and the wider Olympia community together. This year, we’re giving it a fresh new focus — transforming it into the Lincoln Student Makers Market, an event dedicated entirely to celebrating the creativity of Lincoln students.

Save the date:
Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 • 1:00–4:00 PM (add to my calendar)
at Lincoln Options Elementary

A Celebration of Student Creativity

The Student Makers Market will shine the spotlight entirely on Lincoln students. We’re shifting away from adult vendors and the usual fundraising focus to create a truly student-centered celebration of creativity.

The event will feature:

Student-run maker booths – handmade goods and crafts from our talented students

Student art gallery – a showcase of pieces created in Lincoln art classes

Student performances and music – playing with The Community Band!

Interactive art & craft activities for families

Tasty treats and warm drinks from the 5th-grade Bake Sale and the OCC Coffee Cart!

It’s a joyful afternoon designed to honor the imagination and talent of our kids and to bring the community together in a season of connection and creativity.

For Lincoln Families

This is a true community effort! We’ll need many helping hands to make the day magical — from set-up and tear-down to helping in the gym and play shed, supporting the bake sale, and welcoming families.

Volunteer sign-ups: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hiQXOljnus0A-O6EeWPvgWMYeTmRxLvXOD8TTrrcv88/edit?usp=drivesdk

***Applications for student maker booths have CLOSED***

Please see Rose if you would like to contribute to the student art gallery and Joe if you have a student musician who would like to perform during the event.

To keep the focus on student creativity, booths will be limited to arts and crafts (no food sales), and families of participating students will be asked to help with set-up or tear-down.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates as the big day approaches!

A road like brown ribbon,
A sky that is blue
A forest of green with that sky peeping through.
Asters deep purple,
A grasshopper’s call –
Today, it is Summer
Tomorrow is Fall!
