Meet Jenna Sellers, Vision and Hearing Screening
 

 My name is Jenna Sellers and I am heading up the Vision and Hearing Screening Volunteers this fall at Lois Lenski.  I have coordinated this 6 day event, once a year, for the last 5+ years with approximately 25 volunteers.  We couldn't do it without their great support!  This service can help proactively identify vision or hearing issues.   

 

I am blessed to have volunteered in so many capacities over the last 9 years that it's difficult to name them all.  My husband Ben is a consultant and I practiced commercial architecture for 10 years before moving here. We have 2 daughters, Hannah, an 8th grader at Newton Middle School, and Sarah, a 5th grader here at Lenski.  Both kids have had exceptional learning experiences from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Because of the dedicated staff and wonderful families and students, we will be sad to leave in May. We are thankful to have such a great school in our community. Our family will always be strong supporters of Lois Lenski Elementary School and its tradition of excellence.

Vision and Hearing Screening Going on Now!

The Vision and Hearing Screening Bus is going on all this week for Grades 1, 2, 3 and 5.  If the kids use glasses or hearing aids at school, make sure they bring them this week.  

 

Thank you to all our volunteers!  Please click  here to view the sign up, and contact Jenna Sellers with any questions at jenna.s@cbsaya.com, cell (303)903-3877.
