General PTO Meeting
Lenski Media Center -Thursday, October 4th, 7-8 p.m.
Please join us for an open forum with Scott Murphy, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent. Get the Scoop on What's Going on in LPS....
What is the outlook for the fiscal stability of LPS? How do Lenski's test scores compare? How is LPS adapting to the changing state standards? What can Lenski parents expect from the middle school experience? What legislative changes are on the horizon? Come hear the answers to these questions and any others that are on your mind.
Scott Murphy has been superintendent of Littleton Public Schools since 2006 and has a long and impressive history in education.

Vision & Hearing Volunteer Sign-Up
October 5, 8-12
We are currently in need of volunteers for the Vision and Hearing Screening at Lois Lenski. To volunteer, click on Mysignup to chaperone kids to and from the Vision and Hearing Screening Bus. Feel free to sign up for more than one time slot.
We need help for 6 days; Friday Oct. 5th, Monday Oct. 8-12th. We will also need back up volunteers.
You will escort small groups of kids to and from their class rooms, to the Vision and Hearing bus at the front of the school. The Vision and Hearing specialists will give you a list of classrooms and kids, and will tell you how many kids they want you to bring each time. You will walk the groups to and from the bus outside.
Questions? Please contact Jenna Sellers at jenna.s@q.com - we appreciate all your time and help. |

 Lenski's Food Drive
October 1-31
October is here, and it is time once again for Lenski's annual Food Drive! Over the past several years, the Food Drive has been associated with the Broncos organization's Tackle Hunger program. This year the Broncos are not sponsoring a hunger relief program for area schools; however, Lenski students and families have generously donated so much food that it seems a shame not to continue this worthwhile community program! Lenski's food drive this year will directly help students in the LPS community who struggle with food scarcity by providing weekend meal assistance. To find out more, please click here. We have also compiled a list of suggested food items for your convenience. |
Register for the LPS Foundation's annual 5K and 10K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run on Sunday, October 28, 2012. Help Lenski win The Stride's participation contest. The school with the highest percent participation in the 5K or 10K races will receive a $1000 grant! Note: Kids Fun Run participation does not count. Don't forget to write in Lenski as your LPS school.
Click here to register online. Or register by mail, through local running stores, or at school by downloading this form, which also contains more information about the event.
Registrations through the school are due by the end of the school day on Tuesday, October 16th. Be sure to double check that your registration forms are complete and signed. Incomplete forms will be returned.
