Today kicks off National Robotics Week, a time to recognize all the opportunities students have to learn about robotics and STEM-focused fields.
We’re proud of our Central Lee Robotics Team!
REMINDER: There is no school for Central Lee students on Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 10. We’ll see you back in school on Tuesday, April 11.
Mrs. Tweedy’s kindergarten class visited elementary classrooms this week. The purpose was to teach students and teachers some basic sign language which they can use to communicate with one of our fellow Hawks. He has a cochlear implant and hearing aids. Students and teachers will continue practicing what they've learned. You're never too young to be a leader at Central Lee Elementary!
On Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, we want to recognize the hard work of our Central Lee paraprofessionals and teaching associates, whose efforts help keep our schools running smoothly and ensure our students and educators are well supported. We truly appreciate everything they do!
Congrats to Brent Koller, Nicole Herdrich, and Angie Moore for presenting about Central Lee's work based learning program at the Iowa Work Based Learning Conference!

The high school girls track meet at Fairfield and the home soccer games vs Mid-Pairie have been cancelled for tonight.
We want to wish a very happy National School Librarian Day to our Central Lee librarians, Teneal Doty, Marge Lightfoot, and Jenny Doyle!
We appreciate all you do to encourage our students in their learning, whether they’re researching a paper or finding a new favorite book. Thank you for your amazing efforts! 📚
Keeping Us Healthy: Women in Medicine was the theme for the latest Hawk's Place Career day. Central Lee Alumni Megan Warneke, MD, Breanne Vogel, ARNP, Anna Myhre, lab technician, along with Central Lee parent, Megan Clatt, dental hygienist, visited with the students about their careers. Guests shared with the students health care for their teeth and their bodies. Besides question and answer sessions they listened to their heart with a stethoscope, looked at bacteria under a microscope, and enjoyed jello "petri dishes with sprinkles (bacteria)" as an extra treat. Thank you to these ladies for sharing what their typical work day involves through giving a couple hours of their time to these inquisitive students,.
Congratulations to the Central Lee High School Art students who showed their art at the Keokuk Art Show throughout March.
Miss Heavin, Lifetime Wellness Instructor, is teaching first graders about using their strong core muscles to provide ability to balance themselves on a beam. Ask a first grader about the terms, make a T, dismount, salute, and bumps on a log. They are having fun and soaking in the beautiful sunshine as they showcase their skills.
Weekly Activity Schedule for April 2nd through April 8th.
Hawk Place kids were excited to enjoy playing some basketball with their idols from the high school girls and boys basketball teams. We appreciate these busy high schoolers and their coaches giving a day after school to the kids to learn some basketball skills, shoot some baskets, and even sign autographs for the eager waiting littles. They were so excited to get to meet and enjoy the "real " players.
