Lenski Annual Giving - A Community Coming Together


 What makes our Lenski community the BEST???

 

1.  A team of dedicated teachers, staff, and  administration  with commitment to all students in the areas of literacy and math through small group learning.

 

2.  Incredible Superstar students!!

 

3.  A Blue Ribbon School of Excellence designation, not once but twice, by the U.S. Department of Education that establishes Lenski as one of the most successful schools.

 

4. The Colorado Department of Education ranks Lenski as one of the highest-performing public schools in the state and has awarded us the John Irwin School of Excellence seven times!

 

AND....

 

5.  Dedication and commitment from parents who invest in all of this by contributing each year for additional specialist teachers.

 

Please join us and be a part of this great community by giving this year to the Lenski Annual Giving Campaign! Remember 100% of the money given goes directly back to the school for this additional staffing!!

 boyscouts 

Thank You to Our Lenski Boy Scout Pack and Their Families! 

 

Every year before school starts Lenski Pack 664 participates in their community service project which benefits their Chartered Organization, Lois Lenski Elementary School. The Scouts & their families provide the tools and manpower to clean up the school grounds. 

On Saturday, August 16th there was a full contingent of boys, girls, dads, moms and grandparents equipped with brooms, shovels, clippers, spades and blowers to help get the grounds in shape for the school year.  We would like to thank them all for their time and effort.

Now Boy Scouts 2013is a good time to join Boy Scouts if you aren't already a member.  Pack 664 has a great program planned for this year.  Please check out their wiki page, or come to Join Night on Tuesday, September 2nd, 7:00 p.m. at Lenski.

Strong start to King Soopers Reloadable card program!
In August, our loyal reloading community finished the summer strong! Parents, teachers, and friends added money to Lenski-linked reloadable King Soopers cards, then used those cards to pay for gas, groceries, and prescriptions. Thanks to these efforts with the Reloadable Grocery Cards, the PTO received a check in August for more than $1,000 - and a total of $24,000 last year.apple dollar sign
