Thanks to students and volunteers for a successful Love from Lenski outreach!

Signed, sealed, and delivered! Love from Lenski was a great success (again!) this year. Lenski students made 740 valentines over the course of two days during their lunch times. What a tribute to the students' creativity, industriousness, and genuine commitment to spreading some Valentine cheer! The valentines were delivered to Littleton Hospital, The Johnson Center, and Sunrise at Orchard, where they were distributed to patients and residents on Valentine's Day.

Thanks to the following people for their help and assistance: Cady Collins, Missy McKesson, Lisa Myers, Holly Skrypek, Suie Tanner, and Kris Trauernicht. Also, a big thank you to those who contributed valentines stickers for this fabulous community service project.

Beginning in late February, 2011, CSAP Testing will be conducted for students in 3rd-5th grades. Please refer to this flyer from Dr. DeSpain for further information about this test, and to view the schedule for each grade.
