On Your Mark ... Get Set ... Go!
The King Soopers Reloadable Grocery Cardholders team is up and running! With more than 200 active cards, this fundraiser is a huge and vibrant program.
Summertime support from Lenski families netted $998 for our school for the month ending Aug. 7, 2010. Now that school is back in session, we're excited to see how much more we can automatically raise -- together! That initial dollar amount of $998 is our "mark," and we're set to go much higher.
Each month, we'll let you know all the families' combined progress so you can share in our celebration of your success. So, don't drop the ball by forgetting! Use your Reloadable Card for all groceries, gas, and prescription purchases at King Soopers. The store kicks back 5% to Lois Lenski, automatically. Simply reload at Customer Service.
If you need a new card, an additional card, or have questions about this easy fundraiser, please contact
for more information. The revamped order form
(checks only please!) can be found here. |

Recognize a Star!
Is there a volunteer in your child's classroom that helps out a lot? Did you enjoy one of the many school activities? In appreciation of Lenski's "stellar" volunteers, our Recognize a Star! program is back. Simply fill out an appreciation card and place it in the "Recognize a Star" thank you box located by the sign-in computer in the front office. We will draw a card at the end of each month and the volunteer chosen will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to Starbucks as a special thank you. All volunteers will receive their thank you notes in their child's take home folders at the end of the month. For more details, click here. |

5280 Magazine Article
"Denver's Best Elementary Schools"
Did you happen to pick up the September issue of 5280 Magazine with the headline "Denver's Best Elementary Schools?" If so, you probably quickly noticed that Lenski was not on the list. In fact, only one LPS elementary school made the 5280 list. Lenski's absence from the 5280 list does not mean our school is not excelling academically. The article looked at schools in a one-county radius around Denver and made selections based on the Colorado Growth Model which assesses schools according to levels of academic proficiency in math, reading, writing and "growth" - the extent to which schools help kids catch up, keep up or surpass expected levels. They also gave special consideration to schools with higher Free-and-Reduced Lunch numbers. Lenski is in the "High Achievement, High Growth" zone for reading, writing, and math, which reconfirms what we already know about our school. In fact, Lenski's proficiency and growth scores were as high or higher than many of the schools on the list! Check out the growth model tool if you want to view Lenski's results or compare our school to other schools in Colorado. |
