Friday the Hawk Place students traveled to Iowa City for a field trip to the Johnson County Courthouse. There Judge Lightfoot instructed them on court procedures, answered questions and held a mock trial with the students participating in the various career positions during the trial. Students were playing the roles of Judge, Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, Defendants, Jurors, Witnesses, Court Recorder, Court Attendant, and Guard. The defendant was charged with "Running in the halls at Central Lee". After hearing arguments presented by the student attorneys, the defendant was found guilty by vote from the jurors with Judge Britton and Judge Hoang presiding.
We’re thrilled to share that the Des Moines Register has named Central Lee as one of its 2022 Iowa Top Workplaces! This is the third time in four years the district has earned the recognition.
The success of our schools comes down to having a strong culture, with people who feel respected and empowered to prepare the next generation for the challenges and opportunities of the future. We cannot thank our teachers and staff enough for their amazing work, day in and day out.

Hawk Place enjoyed various activities last week for our own little Fiesta week. Students learned some fiesta dancing with Impulse, Central Lee's Dance Team, enjoyed tasty healthy banana splits with ISU Extension Kids in the Kitchen program, as well as preparing various flavored salsas at Elliott Test Kitchen. Two students from the high school Spanish classes visited and taught the children some Spanish. We finished the week with a RAK project stuffing 24 book bags for children in Mexico. (Thank you to all who sent book bags and school supplies to help with this project).
