Fami-Lee, Congratulations to all our Roadrunners for their hard work all year long as well as at today's Fun Run! We are wishing you all a very restful Fall Break!
Don't forget to mark your calendars for some of our December events:

Farewell Ms. Placker, Lee Principal Substitute
Ms. Placker - Everyone at Lee is incredibly thankful for everything you have done in Principal Sileo's absence. It has been an honor to have you in the Roadrunner fami-Lee! Best of luck in your next adventure!!
Remarkable Roadrunner
This week we're calling attention to Jessica Hoffman, PTA President & Simone Harlow, PTA Vice President of Enrichment -- two special members of our Lee community who go above and beyond on everything they do!
Thank you Dani Monahan, Lee staff member for submitting this nomination! It is always a treat to see what kind of impact our Roadrunner family has on one another.
"Simone and Jessica are approachable and easy to work with! I appreciate their organization for all of the Lee Club Sponsors' signups and work together to collect and distribute funds for us! You made it so easy for us, and that motivates me to want to do more for the Lee community."
Want to nominate someone in our community to showcase their good work in or out of the classroom? Fill out the Remarkable Roadrunner Nomination form. Any Lee Community member can nominate anyone else in our Lee Community!
Coats for Kids Drive: Give a Coat, Receive a Coat
Lee Elementary is participating in the Coats for Kids coat drive! There are multiple ways to donate to our Coats for Kids Coat Drive. Between now and Dec. 4, you can:
• drop off a new or lightly used coat in a collection box located in the school or cafeteria entryway
• purchase a coat from the Coats for Kids Gift Registry
• or donate online by visiting jlaustin.org/coats and clicking “DONATE.”
Note that just $20 buys a new coat!
Need a coat? For qualifying families, if you need a coat donation for one of your children (at Lee or not), there are several options:
• Check with Mr. Peckham or the Lee PTA Community Cares rep to see if there is a coat available at the school. We will give Lee Families first choice of donated coats. Additionally, we will receive coats from Coats for Kids at the end of the drive.
• Community pick up locations will be posted by December 3rd on the Coats for Kids website.
