PJDay

7th Annual PJ Day

Helping to end homelessness

 

    Are you aware that there are thousands of Metro area students who are experiencing homelessness?  Lenski Elementary is participating in the 7th annual PJ Day. This is an effort to raise awareness to end homelessness in our community.  Students are asked to bring a dollar to donate for the privilege of wearing PJs to school on Thursday, February 9.  Let's wear our PJ's for a good cause!

SouthglennUpdate

Shop the Streets of SouthGlenn

 

     Lenski has moved into 8th place as of December 31!  This means we are earning more money for our school - right now we are set to receive $500, but we have the opportunity to earn up to $2,500 with your help.  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. Signing up for this will not add a lot of junk mail to your email, it is just about the program.

LoveLenski

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 click on the Lenski signup sheet.  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 [email protected].
