Vision and Hearing Screening
October 1-8
 
     Vision and Hearing Screening starts this Friday, Oct. 1st, and continues the following week, Monday Oct. 4th - Friday Oct. 8th.  We need volunteers to escort small groups of students from their classroom to and from the bus at the front of the school.  The Screeners on the bus will let you know how things are going as you bring the kids to them, and when they might need a break etc.
 
     Each day we are looking for two volunteers, one from 9 to Noon and another from 12:30-3:30 PM each of the 6 days.  The 6th day may not be necessary if we get everything done before then.  Please review the my sign up link below and sign up for a time  to volunteer if you are able, or you can be an alternate if need be.

     Thank you to all of you who signed up to help with Room Parent responsibilities in your child's classroom.

     Online Volunteer Registration a Success!
 
     Thank you to all of Lenski's parents, friends and community.  Over 155 families used PTO Manager to fill positions for over 50 events.  This means 35% of Lenski families used PTO Manager to volunteer during the 2010/2011 school year.   This doesn't include all of the parents who volunteer in their children's classroom.  This type of commitment to Lenski and it's kids is a big part of what makes Lenski such a special school.
 
                                                      With sincere gratitude,
                                                      Your Lenski PTO Board

                       Name Tags are In!
 
     If you indicated on your Pre-Paid Form that you wanted a personalized name badge, they are now available in the front office.  Just look in the storage drawers to the left of the Volunteer Sign-In computer.
