Lee SHINES
September 2022
Dear Families,
We have had a wonderful start to the school year. We have enjoyed seeing our returning foxes and getting to know our new fox families. Teachers are planning and teaching engaging lessons. Mrs. Hogan, our counselor, is providing guidance lessons and meeting with all our foxes. Our CMISD officers introduced themselves to students and encouraged them to do their best. Lee PTO met and are planning some exciting events for our campus. It's going to be a great year! Lee SHINES!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Poteet & Mrs. Anderton
Students celebrating the first day of school.

Parents and guardians are invited to campus once a month to eat lunch with their child(ren) outside. Lunch times are listed below. You may bring food for your child or they can get a tray from the cafeteria. Please arrive early so that you have plenty of time to get settled in before your child's lunch time. We are looking forward to seeing you! Use the link below to RSVP.
In the case of bad weather, the lunch will not be rescheduled and will resume the next month.
