Macy's Shop for a Cause

Since 2006, Macy's Shop For A Cause Event has partnered with non-profit organizations nationwide to raise more than $45 million for their ongoing charitable efforts. This is your chance to be part of this monumental event on Saturday, August 24, 2013. Shop For A Cause gives you the opportunity to give back to your community and to help our school. Purchase a $5 Shopping Pass* for exclusive savings in every Macy's store on Saturday, August 24, and Lenski will keep 100% of the proceeds from pass sales. Plus, you can enter to win a $500 Macy's Gift Card.

*Some exclusions and restrictions apply.

Shop For A Cause passes will be sold at Open House on Friday, August 16th, at Lenski in The Streets of SouthGlenn booth. Make checks payable to Lois Lenski PTO; cash will also be accepted. Then shop at Macy's on August 24th at SouthGlenn and turn in your receipts to earn Lenski even more through the Streetsmarts program (see the Streets of SouthGlenn StreetSmarts article below).

Box Tops Summer Contest

Welcome back to school! As a reminder, the student that collected the most box tops during this past summer will win 2 free movie tickets! Any students that collected 500 box tops or more will win a gift card for free frozen yogurt! Click here to find out more.

Streets of SouthGlenn - Street Smarts Starts Tomorrow!

Simply shop and log your Streets of SouthGlenn receipts! Beginning tomorrow, keep your receipts from all stores and restaurants and turn them in to help Lenski Streetsmarts earn money! Receipts must be dated between August 15, 2013 and April 30, 2014. Turn your receipts in to the box on the table in the front lobby at school or in the Lenski slot near guest services at SouthGlenn. Every dollar earns 5 points, so turn in even the smallest dollar receipt to help out.

For the 2012-2013 school year, Lenski earned $500! This money was used to purchase gift cards that will be raffled off at different fundraisers to earn even more money for our kids! Thanks to all that shopped and turned in receipts!
