Week of May 23

What a busy and exciting week.  THANK YOU for continuing to meet with parents for your Spring Conferences.  Your learners have grown SO MUCH this year- and this is because of YOU!!  We hope you celebrate the growth in, not only your learners, but yourself!




OUR GUIDING PURPOSE: We empower learners to positively impact the world by designing learning experiences that promote relationships, risk taking, and collaboration in a flexible environment.
What YOU are doing to do to LIVE out this VISION at Lee?  


DID YOU KNOW?
  • that Newks is opening near our school?  They will be offering us a free dinner for their soft opening.  Stay tuned for a date next week.
  • this week's Curriculum Courier addresses Lit Camp and our Elementary Student Survey?  We have 2 K-2 and 2 3-5 spots open if you are interested in attending.  Let CK know- names are due by May 31.  
  • part of your end of year check out will be to ensure your house work rooms are organized and inventoried.  The following list documents what was purchased by the campus/district and should be in your closet by the last day of school.  You may also have items checked out to your house from the Media Center.
