DOUGH FOR LENSKI!!!
Sooper Kick-off to Reloadable Grocery Card Program!
The PTO gave all new families a gift: a reusable KS Card

 
     What's silent, automatic, and generates big bucks for Lois Lenski Elementary School? The King Soopers Reloadable Grocery Card program of course! 
 
     As many returning Lenski families know, these reusable cards automatically kick back 5% to our school, funding many important PTO functions. Our loyal users shopped at King Soopers for groceries, gas, and prescriptions over the summer, generating cash for Lenski while school was out. Thank you, families, for raising over $3,000!  Please click here to find out more about this rewarding program!  To place your order, please fill out the attached form.
Save the Date - Bingo Night and Raffle October 1st
 
     Raffle Donations now being accepted!   Mark your calendars for Bingo Night, a fun family-oriented Lenski fundraising event!   For those of you who are looking for ways to support the school, please consider making a donation to the Bingo Raffle.  Lenski (along with some lucky students) benefits greatly and directly from your contribution.   Click here for more information.

**Peanut-Free Allergy Alert**

    Please remember that there are life threatening food allergies at Lenski.  For the well being of all students, we are asking your support for:
 
Washing hands before and after eating.  These procedures will also provide precautions for the expected flu season.
 
Not sharing food because of specific food allergies.
 
Talking to your classroom teacher about specific food allergies in your child's class.
 
When bringing in food for your child's class, please discuss safe options with your child's teacher.
 
     Both the frequency and severity of food allergies for our children are on the rise.  Again, we ask for your support and understanding.  We all need to focus on keeping our Lenski students safe from not only germs, but from the potential of a life threatening reaction from allergies.  Click here for more information.
