               Tackling Hunger at Lenski
 
     This October, Lenski is partnering with the Broncos Tackle Hunger Team in an ambitious effort to feed hundreds of hungry families in metro Denver.  Lenski students have the opportunity to serve our community by donating nonperishable food items.  Parent volunteers are needed 2-3 times/week throughout October to prepare items for delivery.  If you have a spare hour to help, please check out the volunteer signup link at:  http://www2.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=mysignup_com_broncosfooddrive.  
 
We collected more than 150 boxes last year, and (with your help) would love to meet or exceed this goal!

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.
