Lenski Weekly Update
February 2nd, 2024
From the Principal's Desk
Happy February!
Looks like the Groundhog Phil did not see his shadow this morning! It will be an early spring for us! Until then, I hope you stay warm this weekend as snow is in the forecast.
Our 3rd graders had a busy week. They did a wonderful job at their 3rd grade performance yesterday! Bravo! They also had the opportunity to attend a field trip to the Newman Center for Performing Arts!
Our district is currently engaging in a mathematic curriculum adoption for K-5 students. Next year we will no longer use the Bridges Math Curriculum to support teaching and learning throughout the district. Lenski has representation on the district committee that represents our primary, intermediate, and GT services. The committee has reviewed many possible selection materials and have narrowed down two possible options for next year:
Illustrative Mathematics (IM) by Imagine Learning
Reveal by McGraw Hill
Our team is working closely with all teachers about the curriculum choices and will provide and select a top choice later this spring.
We are looking forward to our auction night on March 1st. You can register here! Thank you to our amazing PTO and generous sponsors!
Have a nice weekend ahead!
With Lenski Love,
Jessica

Valentine's Day and Diaper Drive
Help us spread the love this Valentine’s Day to the young and old in our community! Love From Lenski is a yearly tradition where our Lenski kids make valentines for the elderly in our community during their lunch time on February 7th.
In addition to the valentines this year, we will be having a school wide diaper and wipe drive benefiting the St. Andrew’s Market in the old East Elementary school. This market serves the local community, many of which are a part of our greater LPS family. Diapers and wipes are not something that is covered under any public program, and a great expense for families in need. Please bring items for donation to the front entrance of Lenski. There will be collection bins in the vestibule. The drive will run January 29th-February 14. Thank you so much for helping us spread the love!!!!
From the Counselors
Our mental health team will begin new counseling groups at the end of February. If your child is struggling and could benefit from additional social-emotional support in school, please contact their teacher or email Mrs. Ritchey directly at sritchey@lps.k12.co.us.
Valentines Donations
We are looking for donations of Valentine cards for students who may not be able to bring them in. If you have extra boxes of Valentines sitting around, we will take them! We want everyone to be able to participate in the fun classroom events on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for helping our community!

Interested in Coaching?
We coaches are trained volunteers who will lead our Lenski girls through a season of powerful and fun lessons. No running experience required – just a desire to support and encourage our next generation. You will receive all the tools and support you need.
Hello – my name is Coach Emily! I am a Lenski mom and we have a 3rd grader at Lenski. We are new to the Lenski community this year and I am beyond excited to bring GOTR to Lenski! I have coached for this amazing organization for nearly 10 years and I learn something new from our girls every season – I am equally inspired by our kids.
