Thanks to our wonderful supporters for your help in our recent fundraising events.

  1. Mexican Fiesta: The May 16 Three Margaritas fundraiser proved to be successful. For those who took their friends and family out to lunch or dinner and mentioned LCS, we got 15% of your total bill donated to the LCS Foundation. And you must have been hungry because the Foundation made $250.00!

    Thank you to everyone who continues to support LCS in participating in the Three Margaritas fundraising event! Our September 2012 event has earned us $150.00 and our January 2013 event earned us $85.00! The restaurant wants to continue to support our school by hosting two more events! The next scheduled event is April 24! Let's see if we can earn $300 next time by just eating some great mexican food at Three Margaritas and mentioning LCS!
  2. 1st Annual Car Wash: With the help of the LCS student government, we washed cars for money and all proceeds benefitted the LCS Foundation. We want to thank the LCS Student Government for their help and all the volunteers who stepped up and helped make this event a success! The car wash resulted in $580.00 in profit on May 18.

    Despite the pouring rain, the foundation board members still put on a second successful carwash a week later. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped pull this event off, and a special thanks to the great students at LCS who braved the rain with us! A big thank you goes out to all the dedicated parents, who donated money to our school! The rainy weather brought in $242.00 on May 23, making our grand total for both car washes $822.00! What a fantastic way to end the school year! Watch the LCS web site though out the summer for more fabulous fundraising events! All proceeds will benefit LCS and be put towards helping our school grow!
  3. King Soopers Cards: Purchasing gift cards from King Soopers also earns you double fuel points and 1% of your total bill goes to your future LCS fees. For example, if you are a frequent Starbucks customer, consider buying a Starbucks gift card from King Soopers and use that to purchase your favorite caffeinated drinks. You'll earn money for the school, get double fuel points at King Soopers, get a credit on your student fees, and still get to enjoy your favorite beverage. Please encourage your extended family and friends to participate in the program as well. Click here for more information and to request additional cards.
