Holiday Outreach - Share The Joy of the Season
December 1 - 16
|
|
The holidays are fast approaching and it's time once again for Lenski's Holiday Outreach program. Your donation of cash or gift cards (Walmart, Target, Safeway or King Soopers) - no matter the size - can really make a difference to families within our Lenski Community this holiday season.
In addition to the gift cards, this year we are also collecting toiletries and socks for two charities that impact our greater community. We are helping Denver Rescue Mission at the Crossing which has the STAR transitional program for families who are trying to overcome homelessness and The Gathering Place which serves women and children who are trying to overcome homelessness and poverty.
We are looking for:
-shampoo (travel size and full size)
-lotion
-wrapped soap
-body wash
-disposable razors
-shaving cream
-toothpaste and toothbrushes
-new socks (any size)
Donations will be collected from now until Friday, December 16th.
Monetary donations should be brought into the office and into a holiday box labeled "Lenski's Holiday Outreach" or sent to school in your child's folder in an envelope marked Holiday Outreach. Checks are payable to Lois Lenski PTO. Company matches are welcomed!
All other non-monetary donations may be dropped in the red bin located in the front foyer of the school.
Thank you so much for your generosity and for providing some holiday cheer!
Questions? Please contact Jean Vogel or Nancy Seavall.

Introducing Sabine Baez and The Second Step Program
|
Hi, my name is Sabine Baez and I have been a member of the Learning Support Services Team at Lenski for the last five years. I received my Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology from the University of Colorado, Denver with a specialization in bilingual school psychology. My husband and I met 25 years ago at Binghamton University in New York where I studied English as an exchange student from Germany! In 1996 we moved to beautiful Colorado to raise our two sons Alex and Nick.
At Lenski, I divide my time between determining eligibility and providing special education services to students with disabilities and supporting our school's positive behavior support initiatives.
Given the strong evidence that SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING
competencies
, such as
self-management, self-awareness, responsible decision making, relationship skills, social awareness
can contribute positively to academic success and increase resilience, I began teaching
the Second Step curriculum in all grades
. I am looking forward to continue this focus in the coming school year!
SECOND STEP is a fun, evidence-based
social skills program
(
www.cfchildren.org
)
.
It is classroom-based and designed to teach all children how to understand and manage their emotions, control their reactions, be aware of others' feelings, and have the skills to problem-solve and make responsible decisions. It gives student, teachers, and parents a common language and includes short weekly lessons, engaging songs and games, and even daily activities and take-home materials to reinforce learning. Look for a parent letter with more information in the next few weeks!
See you soon!
