Holiday Outreach
The Spirit of the Season!
The holidays are fast approaching, and it's time once again for Lenski's Holiday Outreach program, which helps families in need in the Lenski community. This year the need is even greater than in years past, so please consider a donation to the program. Your donation of cash or gift card(s), no matter the size, can really make a difference this holiday season. Donations will be collected from now until December 7.
Your donations can be dropped off in the school office (look for the gift-wrapped donation box) or sent to school in your child's folder in an envelope marked Holiday Outreach. Please make checks out to Lois Lenski PTO. These donations will be collected from now until December 7. Thank you for your generosity, which will bring some holiday cheer to those in the community who most need it!

Thanking Our Troops
November 11-18
In celebration of Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, Lenski has adopted service men and women in Afghanistan. During this 8-day campaign, students will have the opportunity to showcase the Lenski Superstar spirit by thanking these troops for their service to our country. They would love to hear from students and families, especially during the holidays.
To create a letter to send to the troops, please click here for a template of the letter. You'll also find them at our display in the front lobby. Participation is optional, but this provides a wonderful writing opportunity for all Lenski students. Feel free to include artwork! We're also asking for items for a care package. Click here for an updated list of these items. The deadline for letters and care package donations is this Friday, November 18. |

Yearbook Needs Your Photos...
Have you attended one of your kids' school activities and captured some great photos? Please send us your photos for consideration in the yearbook. We especially need photos from activities like art, music, band, chess club, spelling B's, math club, scouting, show stoppers/show kids, etc., but we'll take any great shots. Uploading photos is easy. Click here for instructions.

Staff Appreciation Breakfast - Success!
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful donations - of time, food and decorations! The Fall Staff Appreciation Breakfast was a success.

We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful community that supports and appreciates our school staff so they can make Lenski an excellent school for our kids. For a list of these wonderful volunteers, click here.
Thanks again, and see you in the Spring! |

Our Students Say Thank You to All of the Lenski Volunteers Who Give Their Time Every Day!

Snowflakes Melt Alone...but together they can stop traffic!
As we enter into this season of being grateful, please take a moment to pause in Lenski's lobby and read the handwritten name of volunteers on snowflakes and hearts. Students in grades K-5 want to thank our many volunteers who make a difference every day at Lenski! Mim Lyles has put together a stunning display showing that your volunteering really does impact the lives of Lenski students!
Thank you from your VIPS team. |
