Holiday Outreach - The Spirit of the Season!
Ends This Friday, December 12

The holidays are fast approaching and it's time once again for Lenski's Holiday Outreach program.  Your donation of cash or gift cards (Walmart, Target, Toys "R" Us, King Soopers, etc.) - no matter the size - can really make a difference to families within our community this holiday season.  Donations will be collected from now until Friday, December 12th.  Please drop donations off in the school office (look for the gift-wrapped donation box) or send to school in your child's folder in an envelope marked Holiday Outreach.  Checks are payable to Lois Lenski PTO. Company matches are welcomed. Thank you so much for your generosity and for providing some holiday cheer!

 
A new King Soopers gift card is a great gift idea and will also benefit Lenski!

Meet Beth Thompson, PTO Secretary

 

My name is Beth Thompson, and I am the PTO Secretary. I am a Realtor, and my husband, Eric, is a Sales Manager.  Our daughter, Danika, is in Mrs. Jones' fourth grade class.  Our son, Charlie, will start kindergarten at Lenski during the 2016-2017 school year.  We still have many years ahead of us at Lenski!  I have volunteered in the classroom, been Room Mom, and participated on committees since we started at Lenski.  At first, I volunteered to meet other parents since we were open enrolled at Lenski the first year and wanted to be involved in our daughter's school experience.  After realizing how strong of a community there is with Lenski, we specifically moved into the district to make this school our home.  The teachers, staff, PTO, and Lenski families have been a constant source of guidance and support, and it is a thrill to be part of it.
