Marching forward with King Soopers!

Spring is coming -- it's time to dust off your King Soopers reloadable grocery card for the new season! Take a moment to think about what works best for your family: Buying groceries, gas, prescriptions, or gift cards? You can join (or rejoin!) the steady march of parents and Lenski supporters who help our school fundraiser, painlessly! Let's band together to top the program's contribution in February, when we saw over $1,800 come into our school. Nice job, shoppers!
