Helping Build Communities...One Home at a
Time |
|
If you would like to help those affected by the recent floods in Northern Colorado, please click on this link for more information. |
Who are these teachers? They are the specialists whose salaries were supported by PTO funds last year. Dana Wilhelm, Katelyn Hamilton, Kathy Fennelly, Terri Secor, and Carole Eskandari are the teachers who connect with your children and give them the extra attention they deserve. Thanks to you and your generous donations, budget cuts have not affected our children's ability to receive the best education possible. More information is also available on the Lenski website.

Littleton Community Retreat - Building a Health Community for All
October 18-19, 2013 |
The Littleton Community Retreat, formerly the Littleton Leadership Retreat, was founded in 1975 by former City Manager Gale Christy and the former editor of the Littleton Independent, Garret Ray, to help educate citizens about issues of importance to the community. These citizens, they believed, would take ideas from the Retreat and share them widely in the broader community. Their vision succeeded as ideas generated at the Retreat have spurred outcomes both large and small, including:
* Lowering of the railroad tracks through Littleton, which led ultimately to the establishment of the southwest corridor light rail line.
* Establishment of the Littleton Immigrant Initiative, an award-winning initiative designed to integrate new Americans, and help them learn English and become citizens.
