Lenski Weekly Update

Thank you for another great week of learning! We held Town Hall meetings this week to get students excited about our Fun Run that we will host on September 20th. Each grade level has a music era that they can have fun and dress the part as they participate in the run! We are also excited to have Lenski alumni from Newton volunteering on race day to help our Superstars!

I also had time this week to connect with our new-to-us students in grades 1st-5th and their buddies for a fun lunch. It was great to hear how our student leaders supported our new Superstars to Lenski!

Enjoy the long weekend!

With Lenski Love,

Jessica

Beginning after Labor Day, if you need to walk your student into school, we ask that you sign in to get a name badge.

Lunch and Playground Visitors - We love our visitors! Please make sure to check in with a name badge if you join your student for lunch. If you plan to accompany your student to recess, please stop by the office to pick up a yellow vest. We love to have extra adults playing games with students on the playground, and the vests help to identify you.

If you are interested in volunteering to help during lunch recesses, we would love to have you! Check in as usual at the kiosk. Then, come into the front office to receive your yellow vest. You may come up with your own game, or click here to preview games with videos. We’ll also have a binder with additional ideas in the office to choose from.

Recess schedule:

Kg 11:15-11:35 (primary playground)

1st 11:35-11:55 (grades 1-5 are on the intermediate playground)
