Morning Drop Off
2017 CB Middle School Relay for Life
Doylestown Lions Club "Eyeglass Drive"
The Lions Club has the "Lions Recycle for Sight Program". Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERC's). LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in low and middle income communities where they will have the greatest impact. http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/how-we-serve/health/sight/eyeglass-recycling.php
You can make a difference! Drop off any eyeglasses that you no longer need at the drop box located at Lenape in the front office. Thank you for your participation.
BOX TOPS
YES, Lenape collects Box Tops! Our life skills class uses Box top activities to reinforce skill development. Lenape earns money for every label collected.
Please send your Box Tops to school labeled "Lenape Guidance" or drop them in the box in the lobby adjacent to the main office. Please don't worry about cutting the labels, tearing them off is fine.
