Lenski Weekly Update
May 10th, 2024
From the Principal's Desk
We had a fun week at Lenski! From Field Trips to Junior Achievement for a Day to Fly Up Day to Staff enjoying all the LOVE, there was a lot of excitement throughout the building. Thank you to our fantastic parent volunteers who led Junior Achievement for a Day!
The fun will continue next week as we gear up for our last Book Fair of the year, celebrate our kindies' move up to 1st grade, and prepare for our Olympic-themed Field Day on Friday!
The end of the year brings a lot of excitement and sadness with our year ending. Thank you for helping with the transition to summer. We are grateful for such a wonderful community.
With Lenski Love,
Jessica
