Aubrey Weber, a senior thrower, set a new standard in the discus by breaking her own school record last night! She achieved a personal best throw of 115-09, continuing an impressive season of growth and accomplishment. This young lady is determined to achieve her high goals this season!
Congratulations to Aubrey on this outstanding achievement and for representing Central Lee with excellence!

When school was out of session, Hawk’s Place hosted a full day of activities! The mission was simple: celebrate the incredible green spaces right here in our own backyard. 🌞
Our students spent the day exploring the beauty of our local community, visiting Rodeo Park, Pollmiller Park, and Houghton Park. From hand-crafting their own lunches to wrapping up the day with a sweet treat at Hinterland Dairy, every moment was about connection and discovery.
This day was a reminder that fresh air, a homemade lunch, and a local park are the perfect ingredients for growth, friendship, and happy memories.
