In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am reflecting about the many blessings at our school. Every one of you are a blessing to me in your own unique ways. You are not taken for granted and are appreciated beyond measure. You choose to come to Lee and work so hard, daily, to bring our school building to life for our learners. Your passion for learning, your flexibility and your heart shines in all you do. Over the years, I have learned how to grow and lead with additional grace and patience. I see that demonstrated in so many of you, too! Please REST over the break. DO NOT WORK OR THINK ABOUT SCHOOL!! Take time for yourself and reflect on how incredible you are. I cannot wait to show you how much we love you during December to Remember. When you return it will be here on Friday!
DID YOU KNOW:
- Friday is Substitute Appreciation Day? Please be intentional in thanking any subs in our building today!
- the office will clean the lounge fridge out at 2:00, on Friday? Please take your personal items and food home. Yellow House- thank you for making sure all the dishes are put away and the lounge is picked up for one more week. The office takes over lounge responsibilities December 1.
- December 8, early release day, you are expected to work until 3:35? This is a true gift from our district, so please use this to get things checked off of your to-do list. On December 15, early release day, you have permission to leave after all learners have been dismissed.

STAFF MEETING WEDNESDAY
We are super excited to welcome back Todd Whitthorne for an uplifting and motivational visit on Wednesday. He visited us almost two years ago and will bring a smile to your face. Thank you to PTO and Linda for our snacks for this meeting.
CHS MADRIGAL TOUR
What a FUN way to start the holiday season! The Madrigal group will be caroling through Lee on Friday. This talented group of singers plan to arrive at 8:25 and will perform in the Media Center for 20 minutes. Learners upstairs can gather at the glass walls when they hear them and downstairs classes can come and gather around them in the library. THANKS, Holly, for sharing your open space!
DONATE DURING THE GIVING SEASON
Want to provide a special holiday gift to someone in need? Lee Elementary will participate in the Lions Club of Coppell Food and Toy Drive. The donation box will be placed at our front office entrance and learners can bring food and toys from now through December 15. Thank you for your kindness!
Want an authentic writing experience for your learners? For every letter Santa receives through Christmas Eve, Macy's will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million. Need inspiration for your letter to Santa? Let Pastor's video explain how your letters make a difference. If you'd like to participate, please have your kids bring their finished letters in the red mailbox in the office by 3:05 Friday, December 8th.
