Meet Carl Damon, PTO Field Day Volunteer Coordinator
 
 

 

Hola Lenski families! My name is Carl Damon and I am the Field Day Volunteer Coordinator. I have had the privilege to help Coach Wilson out with Field Day for the past 5 years, and it is a blast every year! Coach does an amazing job putting together a great day of fun for our kiddos, and our parent volunteers are crucial to making it happen. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Field Day for so long. I feel even more fortunate to contribute to a community full of so many great parents who year after year make the time and effort to make Lenski a great school and community...not to mention volunteering for Field Day and making it a success!

 

In addition to Field Day, I have enjoyed volunteering in the classroom and other Lenski activities over the past 7 years. What an amazing group of educators giving it their all to provide our kids a great start in life! My wife, Dr. Susie, and I along with our kiddos have enjoyed being part of the Lenski community. Ben is in 5th grade with Ms. Steele, and Sophie, is a sixth grader at Powell. It's bittersweet to see our time at Lenski coming to an end.  Many thanks to the great number of parents who have signed up to volunteer for this year's Field Day on May 11th and May 13th. If you have not had a chance to sign up yet, there are many spots we need to fill. Your help is greatly appreciated.
