Week of January 29, 2024

Happy Thursday, sweet folks.  What a GREAT week spreading and celebrating kindness.  Your beautiful banners look glorious hanging through our school!  I am reminded, daily, what a blessing it is to be at Lee Elementary with each of YOU!  THANK YOU for being YOU! 

DID YOU KNOW:

• we are ready to announce who our new Office Aide will be?  Welcome to the front office Charlene Parnell.  We are super excited to have her positivity and work ethic in our front office starting Monday, January 29.  Stay tuned as we fine tune responsibilities, once more.  As soon as they are firmed up, communication will be shared with you all.  Please welcome Ms. Suzi as the new cafeteria manager. She will be in our cafeteria shadowing Charlene on Friday.  Suzi will be sorely missed from Lakeside, but I have the utmost confidence she will thrive in our Lee cafeteria.  Please find time to introduce yourself to her.
• LEEders should tie up your house recycling on Friday.  Rikki's class will come and pick them up.  Thank you for your participation. 
• we need ALL staff to staff after school on Wednesday for security training.  We will meet in the cafeteria.  THANK YOU in advance for your attendance and attention.

Can you believe we have already been in school 100 days?  We are more than halfway through the year!  Feel free to participate on Tuesday.
