Click here for the first Newsletter of the school year. It contains a plethora of information on Back to School nights, PLC Days, Enrichment opportunities, safety precautions at Lenski, and much more. The Events Calendar is also available for September, detailing events and activities for the month. |
Don't forget about Lenski Annual Giving. This is our largest fundraiser of the year. We are suggesting $175 per student from each family. 100% of the funds pay the salaries of our specialist teachers in reading and math. As a nonprofit, we also qualify for corporate matching so if you or your spouse's company offers corporate match be sure to look into it.
If you have any questions contact the campaign chair, Heidi Elliott, at heidi@beanstalk-marketing.com. Our goal is to reach $80,000 by October 1. Donate now! |

| LPS Foundation gifts Lenski $1,700 |
Lenski Elementary would like to give a special thank you to the LPS Foundation for it's generous gift of $1,700. We are using this money to help fund the DreamBox and IXL computer math software programs for our students. Lenski students will benefit from these two math programs available online.
For our primary students, we will continue to provide DreamBox. DreamBox, an adaptive on-line program, helps children learn math concepts through a game atmosphere. Studies have shown that children that use this program, on average, increase five percentile points in 16 weeks. This program adapts to each child's response, increasing or decreasing the difficulty as needed.
All students will have access to IXL - a practice environment that rewards hard work. This program gives students the opportunity to learn from their errors, master specific skills, and build confidence. |
