Ya'll this post-Spring Break rundown is very low key... Huge thanks to everyone who participated in Lee Live in any way either large or small. It was a wonderful success and we raised just over $65k!! I've added the April calendar here which is looking pretty full of activity so check it out and mark your calendar for some upcoming opportunities to engage with the school like Spring Fling & Maker Faire/Art Show.
Principal Sileo just posted her campus updates so I strongly encourage you to check those out for all the official information directly from school administration. Find that here: https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/30981890.
