Carter Hulsey, sponsored by the Iowa Department of Insurance and Financial Services, performed for the middle school last Friday. The program called "Funding the Future" teaches students vital financial principles by organizing live, musical performances at schools creating a dialogue around financial literacy between students and musicians. Topics included credit scores, the difference between credit and debit cards, saving money, investing for retirement, and getting loans. It was a great performance and learning experience!

All of the students had a great time, learned a lot at their first stock competition, and represented the best of Central Lee!

This Red Ribbon Week, we’re committed to supporting students as they make smart choices. Here’s why it’s important to stay drug-free:

✅ Drug use makes it harder to achieve goals
✅ Addictive substances hinder academic performance
Say NO to drugs, and say YES to your future!
