To help, please turn in all of your receipts from any SouthGlenn store/restaurant (including the library!) in the box in Lenski lobby. Receipts from all stores are eligible. A very quick and easy way to earn points for Lenski that does not cost you any money is to sign up for the Street Smarts email.

*** IMPORTANT*** To earn 1,000 points for your school and be added to the Street Smarts email subscription list, you must confirm your subscription by clicking the link in the email that is sent to the email address you provide.

Love from Lenski

February 8-9

On February 8th and 9th, Lenski students will have the opportunity once again to write and decorate Valentine's Day greetings during lunchtime. The Valentines will be delivered to several area hospitals and nursing homes, where they will be featured on patients' meal trays on Valentine's Day (guaranteed to bring a smile!) In order to make these heartfelt messages as creative and colorful as possible, we are once again asking for donations of Valentine stickers!! Whether you have a handful or multiple sheets, please drop them off in the collection box in front of the school office. Thank you!

If you are interested in volunteering, please look for the upcoming Love from Lenski signup sheet as volunteers will be needed to man the "creation stations"during lunchtimes, as well as deliver the Valentine cards to area facilities.

Questions??? Please contact Holly Skrzypek at hollyskrzypek@msn.com.
