Week of May 30

THANK YOU for another incredible year at our school.  #RJLYEAR2 was the massive success it was because of each and every one of you.  Your hard work, dedication, perseverance, and genuine love of children goes unmatched and you are applauded for all that you have contributed to making our school the fine place that it is!  I hope you will always remember that you were carefully selected to be here because of the gifts and talents that you possess.  Sometimes you already knew them, other times we brought them out of you.  The special and unique blessing is that we are each on our own journey, yet we can all reflect back over the last year and see that we are better because of each other. 

It will be sad to see some of our famiLEE move on to different paths, however, I feel confident that the bonds, connections, and lessons you have made here will have a positive impact on you in the future.  You will forever be a Lee Spur famiLEE member, and we wish you nothing less than the best. Please keep in touch! 

Enjoy your THREE DAY weekend as you get ready for the last (sort of) week of school.  We know this is the greatest school, with the greatest staff and learners.  We only get the learners 187 days, so make the most of these last 3 1/2 with them!  THEY ADORE YOU!  AS DO I!




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 we have a FINAL WALK for 5th graders on the last day of school?  Early release is 12:45, so at 12:30, we will ask you to line a path with learners and their backpacks from the cafe around the first floor so that our fifth graders can be recognized by their school.  Bring your Kleenex!
  • if your learners do not pick up their medication by the last day of school that it will be discarded?  Please inform your parents!
  • we hired another famiLEE member?  Her name is Jessica Stow and she is moving here from Tulsa, OK.  She visited Lee today, so some of you had a chance to meet her.  She will be teaching 3rd grade in Purple House.
  • that iStation will be available to our learners during the summer?  It's true!
  • Todd has a heartfelt thank you and goodbye blog post to share with you?  Check it out here.
  • Katie will be in Y4 next year, Alex will be in G2, and Nick will be in R4 and on Leadership Team?  These placements are always subject to change, but are current as of today.

MEMORIAL DAY CARDS
Don't forget to turn these in to Bethany before leaving on Friday.  They should be in a gallon sized ziploc bag with a rock.  THANKS for supporting these families.


SCHEDULES FOR NEXT WEEK
Please look here for our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday schedules.  If you have SSI ARDs scheduled, we will have to ask your house to help with coverage on Tuesday.  These should be brief!
