Lenski Weekly Update

March 14th, 2025

From the Principal's Desk

We hope you all had a wonderful long weekend last weekend!

This week, our 5th graders prepared for their upcoming Young AmeriTowne experience by participating in interviews. A huge thank you to all our parent volunteers who assisted with this process! Our students were poised, professional, and worked so hard to prepare.

I can’t believe our 2nd Annual Lenski Auction Night is already here! A HUGE thank you to our incredible PTO for their dedication in organizing this special event. A special shoutout to our Auction Committee—Ashley Dierickx, Brooke Burdic, Dana Kershner, and Jen de Loizaga—for their love and leadership in bringing it to life. It was so fun to collaborate with you all!

Hope to see many of you tonight!

With Lenski Love,
Jessica

Lost and Found

Due to the timing of spring break, the lost and found area will be cleared out on Friday, March 21st. We encourage you to stop by next week to check for any items your student may have missplaced. Any items remaining at that time will be donated.

Storywalk Comes to Lenski

We are excited to announce a StoryWalk at Lenski!

We invite family, friends, and our school community to enjoy reading, walking around our school, and being outdoors to enjoy The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch this month. Come again after Spring Break for Strega Nona by Tommie DePaola.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk promotes early literacy, physical activity, and family time together outdoors. Families take a stroll and enjoy successive pages from a children’s story along the path!
