Lenski Weekly Update
October 20th, 2023
From the Principal's Desk
Thank you all for joining us for conferences this past week! We love being able to connect with families to provide updates on how your Superstar is doing. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to our staff lunch on Wednesday. We are grateful!
As we look ahead to the rest of October, there are a lot of fun things in store!
Be sure to save the date for our annual Trunk-or-Treat event on the Lenski Blacktop on October 27th from 4:00pm-5:30pm. Have your Superstar decked out in their costume! We will also have our class decorated pumpkins for your viewing. You will be so impressed with the creativity!
We also have the LPS annual STRIDE Race coming up on October 29th. This is such a wonderful LPS tradition that benefits our wonderful district. We had so many people out representing Lenski last year. We hope to see you there this year!
We will wind down October with our annual Halloween Parade! You are invited to view our Superstars as they transform into their Halloween attire and parade at our school. You can find a spot outside on our blacktop. Our parade will begin around 2:15.
Enjoy the long weekend, Superstars!
With Lenski Love,
Jessica

Original Works
Original Works Art program information is going home this week with your student! Original Works is a program that turns your child’s own creative artwork into such things as mugs, tote bags, mouse pads, magnets, and much more. These make amazing gifts for the holidays as all orders will be going home with your student the first week of December. On the form you will get all the information on how to order, the website link, and the codes for your child’s artwork. (There are 2 so that no one can accidently order the wrong artwork.) All orders will be placed online, but will be sent to the school so you won’t have to pay for shipping. Proceeds from the program go to the art department to purchase supplies such as paint and clay for our students to continue to grow as artists! It’s a great way to support the art program and a wonderful, creative way to make something special to give as gifts or to keep just for you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
Mrs. Siriwardana
