Celebrating Mr. Ireland's 27 years at Central Lee! Thank you for your dedication!
Hawk's Place 4th, 5th and 6th grade students have had the opportunity to visit Elliott Test Kitchen weekly this school year. It has been an exceptional experience. The kids have thoroughly enjoyed each week, learning from the Test Kitchen staff, tasting new foods, and becoming more efficient in their home kitchens. We ended our visits this school year tonight with a cookbook signing and tasting event, open to the public , while enjoying good food from the recipes found in the cookbook. You can see in the pictures how seriously they took signing the cookbooks on their pictures. They felt very special "autographing" for the customers who purchased cookbooks. If you didn't get a cookbook reach out to any Hawk Place student or email Marge Lightfoot at mlightfoot@centrallee.org.
A big thank you to Kumar, Brian and Sheri for a fantastic year. ! It's been a great!

On Sunday, May 15, the Central Lee Class of 2022 will host a Graduation March Parade! It will start at the high school, move on to Montrose, and then Donnellson. The parade march will be followed by the 2022 Baccalaureate service at the UCC Church in Donnellson.
For the parade, each graduate’s family will need to provide transportation for their family and graduates. Central Lee asks that the driver of the vehicle be a parent or guardian. We encourage families to be creative. Feel free to decorate cars with streamers and banners. Graduates, be sure to wear your cap and gown!
School personnel will lead the parade in conjunction with the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The rules of the road will be enforced and must be followed at all times. Below is the schedule:
4:45-5:00: Parade lineup at the high school
As graduates and families pull into the high school parking lot, please pull directly behind the car ahead of you. The line will begin outside the high school and continue snaking around the high school parking lot until all graduates/cars are in line. All parties need to stay in or near their vehicle during this time.
5:00 — Graduation March Parade begins
Considering there will be about 75 cars, we will do our best to stay together. Again, please remember to follow the rules of the road!
5:15-5:45 — Parade arrives in Montrose
The parade will enter Montrose from 61 West via Highway 404/Main Street. We encourage the community of Montrose to be ready and waiting to cheer for our graduates during this timeframe. The parade will continue through Montrose, taking a right onto 7th street, passing the Montrose Health Care Center, looping around on Locust Street to 6th, taking a right onto Spruce Street, heading left for four blocks on 1st Street, followed by a left on to Main Street to head back through Montrose. The caravan will take Peach Orchard Road out of Montrose and back to 218.
6:15-7:15 — Parade arrives in Donnellson
The parade will enter Donnellson from old 218 South/Main Street. We encourage the community of Donnellson to be ready and waiting to cheer on our graduates during this timeframe.

The parade route will end at the fairgrounds.
