Help us reach $10,000 by the end of the month. Your donations are critical for helping to sponsor all of the amazing opportunities the PTA offers our staff and students. We're asking for $100 per student, but we appreciate any amount!

September is full of opportunities to engage with the Lee Community!
September 15 - October 15 | Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. (source)

Roadie Rockstars!
Thank you so much to the Roadie crew and volunteers for their hard work on Sunday! The Lee Girl Scout troop also represented and planted some beautiful plant around the portables.
We are seeking the help of a landscape designer or a plant hobbyist to lead up the project for reinvisioning the front beds and meditation walk.
This would entail creating a landscaping plan and budget and submitting to the PTA for approval. Please reach out to president@russellleepta.org with questions or proposals!
