Throughout this culminating project, students researched influential historical figures, transformed their learning into writing and slide presentations, created meaningful artwork with the support of Ann Canida, and performed beautiful music under the direction of Heather Madsen. Students also fully embodied their historical figure by dressing in costume for their presentations, bringing history to life in such a memorable and engaging way. Their final performance of “A Million Dreams” was a touching tribute that captured Aiden’s spirit so perfectly.
As students learned about brave leaders, innovators, problem solvers, and dreamers throughout history, they were also reminded of the qualities Aiden carried every day; kindness, courage, imagination, joy, and a heart that dreamed big. He truly embodied the growth mindset and determination that this project celebrates.
A huge thank you to our incredible 4th grade teachers and Katie Koller, Computer Science teacher, for guiding students through this deep research and presentation process, and to our families and community for showing up in such a big way to support these students. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of learning, leadership, creativity, and love.
What a meaningful way to close out our students’ elementary journey as High 5 Hawks. 💛🖤
☀️ What a BEAUTIFUL day for Field Day at Central Lee PK-4!
Our students spent either the morning or afternoon rotating through fun stations with their classmates, building memories, teamwork, and plenty of smiles along the way. The leadership of our Central Lee Middle School 5th graders absolutely SHONE BRIGHT as they led activities, encouraged younger students, and modeled what it means to be positive leaders.
A huge thank you to our specials teachers and grade-level teams for the preparation, organization, and support that made the day run so smoothly. Days like today happen because of the incredible culture of leadership, teamwork, and student ownership that continues to grow across our PK-8 campus.
We also loved seeing our preschool students enjoying activities on the lawn led by our amazing 4th graders. Leadership was everywhere you looked today, and it was a wonderful reminder that our students rise to the expectations and opportunities placed before them.
Thank you to everyone who helped make today such a fun, positive, and memorable experience for kids! 💛🖤 #CentrallyProud #ShineBrightTogether #LeaderInMe #High5Hawks
