Lenski annual fundraiser

What Else Takes Only a Minute?

Can your kids get dressed in a minute? Can they get in the car in a minute? Can you get to school in a minute?

You can support the excellent education we expect from Lenski in just one minute. That's all it takes to write a check or donate online through Lenski Annual Giving. No selling this year! The funds we raise go directly to pay specialist teachers. These teachers work with our kids every day in small reading and math groups.

Lenski Running Club - Back by Popular

Demand

Nearly 500 students joined Lenski's Running Club in 2011, improving fitness and earning prizes for every mile completed! Run with us again in 2012!

Sprint on over to the field during full-day Friday lunch recesses in September and October (9/7, 9/14, 9/28, 10/5, 10/12 & 10/26).
