SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY
We are super excited to have an event where our Special Friends can come to our school on September 27. In order to disrupt the least amount of learning, we are inviting guests to attend the Book Fair (during the learner's recess) and have lunch (from school or home) during your lunch time. We will also have a photo opportunity for your guests. Please put this invitation in your newsletters inviting guests to Lee on Thursday. We kindly request that they sign up that they are attending, in advance, so that we can prepare accordingly. This form will ensure our cafeteria has enough food and seating, and so that the office can be ready for all of our guests. We already have 53 responses. YAY!
FAMILEE MOVIE NIGHT
Thank you for making it a priority to stop by Friday night's event, if even for just a bit, so that the children and famiLEEs can see you. This is our first PTO event, and it communicates a positive partnership with them when we have staff members present. Not to mention... the event will be FUN! Doors open at 6:30 and the movie starts at 7:15.

WALKTHROUGH FOCUS
Our focused walkthroughs for ONE MORE WEEK is in Domain 3 Dimension 1: Learning Environment. We are looking for evidence of effective routines, transitions, and procedures that are implemented effortlessly. We are looking for learners to be in charge of managing materials and that your room is safe, inviting, and orderly. We are enjoying watching evidence of learning as it is showing up on the walls in your spaces.
LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
- Global Action Day is on Tuesday? Sustainable Development Goals are one way that you can help lead learners toward actions and solutions to CBL problems. Actions both big and small MATTER and we can't wait to see what you design for your learners.
- that only 9 people responded to Kasey's Lee technology needs assessment? We have 72 staff members! This short survey helps us give you voice so we can personalize your digital learning, so please complete it before you leave on Friday.
- Kasey created her first blog post on her Bulb portfolio. Check it out here to learn more about the "Power of a May Do." Don't forget that Jacque updated her blog, too!
- that we failed to collect the keys to the mobile locking carts from specialists and staff members? If you have a cart that looks like this, please see Ashley with all of your cart keys so we can sort through them and log them in.
FALL BOOK FAIR AND LIBRARY NEWS

There are multiple family engagement events like: Donuts with Dads on Wednesday and Special Friends Day on Thursday.
