Special Friends Day has been phenomenal! Thank you to everyone who offered their time and help to keep things running smoothly and to all designers for graciously allowing learners to return a little late from lunch if they went to the Book Fair. Holly and our volunteers hosted a fantastic Book Fair, and PTO, Officer Thames, support staff, and our Office Team were truly on their A-game.
DID YOU KNOW:
- CK will be at an out of town wedding this weekend, so she will not be here on Friday or Monday?
- you can wear shorts and comfy clothes on Friday? Hours are 8:00-3:30, but "Pest Control" is arriving at 3:00. Here is the agenda I turned in to CISD. Please use the afternoon as it best fits your needs.
HOMECOMING WEEK SPIRIT DAYS
It is CHS Homecoming week and Spurs are welcome to participate in the following dress up days. Staff, moving forward...if it is a spirit day and you are participating...jeans are permitted.
We invite all famiLEEs to join us at the Homecoming Parade on Wednesday, September 23. Our LEEders will be walking in the parade representing Lee Elementary. If you want to watch the parade, the route will start on N. Coppell Road and W. Parkway Blvd. and go all the way to CHS. The parade starts at 6:00 PM and ends at 7:00 PM.

PARENT LEARNING WALKS
As part of our campus Parent Engagement goal and a strategy in our Campus Improvement Plan, the last Thursday of every month, Mrs. Kastrounis will host a community learning walk at Lee. This month the walk will be from 8:00-9:00 on Thursday, September 24 and parents planning to attend should arrive with their ID to check in at 7:50.

I know this should go unsaid, but please make sure that during this time your learners are engaged in meaningful learning experiences. What do I mean by "meaningful learning experiences?" This means small group instruction, hands on experiences, your class engaged in varied activities (not all doing the same exact thing and all on an iPad). These learning walks are a fabulous way to showcase the incredible learning in our building and also to erase misconceptions about Lee and public education.
CELEBRATE OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM
We have so much great teaching happening at Lee Elementary. Please take time to nominate a peer for Super Teacher recognition by Sept. 25. Learn more about what makes a teacher a Super Teacher by browsing the "Looks Fors" at visiting www.coppellisd.com/page/super-teachers.
Has someone gone above and beyond and you want to recognize them? The CISD Great Employees Matter or GEM program recognizes outstanding employees who serve the mission and core values of CISD in a manner that exceeds job expectations. Nominate a GEM in your school or office by Oct. 23. Learn more about the program at www.coppellisd.com/page/great-employees-matter.
