King Soopers Cards
Reloadable Rock-Tober!
With the Colorado Rockies baseball done for the season, we're happy to report that Lenski's rockin' reloadable grocery cards are providing something to cheer about! Take a look: In September, you paid for more than $48,000 worth of groceries, gas, and gift cards with your Lenski-linked King Soopers cards. Wow! The PTO received a check for more than $2,400. Cards delivered to parents and friends since the start of the school year generated 32% of that -- fantastic! We logged 311 reloads (some families reloaded twice or more), and the average amount reloaded per transaction was $152. So! Stay in the game, or get off the bench if you aren't already participating! This fundraiser costs you nothing and is a terrific way to show your pride in funding Lois Lenski's ongoing accomplishments.

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). Lenski Running Club membership is open to all Lenski students - no signup or experience necessary. Last year's members can add to their prize collection or start anew. All we require is a good attitude and an aptitude for fun!
Parent participation is welcomed, and volunteer positions are still available at My Sign Up.

Thank you to all the families who were able to donate to Lenski Annual Giving: The One-Minute Fundraiser. Your generosity helped make the campaign a huge success! You will remember that our goal was $60,000 by October 1. We are thrilled to say we definitely met our goal! To date we have raised $59,778 through checks, one-time online donations, monthly online donations and a couple of corporate matches. With the monthly donations we expect to come in during the year, and the corporate matches we are anticipating, the expected total climbs to $69,217. We can't thank you enough for being so generous. The funds raised from this campaign go directly to specialty teachers' salaries to support small group learning in literacy and math.
Thank you notes with tax information have been emailed to every donor. Remember that 100% of your donation is tax deductible, so save your receipt. If you did not receive a thank you note, please contact Heidi Elliott at
