Meet Shelley Reed, Food Drive Coordinator
My name is Shelley Reed and I coordinated the Lenski Fall Food Drive for the first time this year. In addition to the generosity of the Lenski community, I feel very fortunate to have the support of so many amazing 5
th grade student and parent volunteers who helped sort and pack over 60+ boxes throughout the month of October. This food drive is very special as it contributes directly to the needs of students within Littleton Public Schools.

I enjoy being involved at Lenski as it not only contributes to my children's education and community, but has provided me the opportunity to connect with teachers, staff and parents. In addition to volunteering as room parent for the past 10 years, I have served as the VIPS Team Lead and Community Service Team Lead on the Lenski PTO board. Many friendships have developed over the years in the halls and classrooms at Lenski.

My husband Tom is a Dentist and I am a stay at home mom. We have three children who have all attended Lenski.  Jake, a Freshman at Arapahoe High School; Lindsey, a 6th grader at Powell; and Graham, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Adkins class, are well prepared for their future educational experience and beyond due to the great foundation received at Lenski.

Lenski Fall Food Drive Thanks You!
The Food Drive has come to end and the spirit of giving is alive and well at Lenski!
You have once again shown your generosity and support of your community by donating 70 boxes of food - all of which directly benefits LPS students. In addition to thanking all of you for your food donations, we would like to thank the fifth grade students who volunteered their time during lunch, Jeff Gruidel and Freight Logistics for donating boxes, and the many parent volunteers who contributed their time to this community effort.
