Lenski Weekly Update
August 23rd, 2024
From the Principal's Desk
We loved seeing so many families at Back to School Night! We understand that there was a lot of information to share. If you had unanswered questions, please reach out to the office and we will work to answer them.
We also had over 500 students and staff members come together for our 2nd annual Superstar photo! It is truly incredible how each individual made such a beautiful star!
We also have our 1st Friday DJ! Thanks to Lyla Hampton and Abigail Collins for picking such an upbeat song to take us into the weekend!
Have a wonderful weekend!
With Lenski Love,
Jessica
