Save the Date for Make a Difference and Chip in for Technology Golf Tournament
April 28, 2014
The  3rd Annual Lenski Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, April 28, 2014.  100% of proceeds benefit the Lenski Technology Fund.  
  • Did you know that Lenski has a 1:1 technology ratio for 3rd-5th grade? These are actual computers in the classroom for every student in 3rd-5th grade to use in all aspects of instruction!  This is a great achievement but it needs constant support.  Help us maintain that commitment and expand our technology goal.  We would like to purchase 60 new chromebooks achieving a 2:1 ratio at the 2nd grade level starting this fall!  
  • Join us for a fun day on the course and support a great cause!  Click here to register.
