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.
