Good luck to our students participating in the ISDTA Dance & Winter Guard State Competition this week! Good luck and, most importantly, have fun!
Due to Thanksgiving break last week we had career guest on Monday instead of Thursday. The three Central Lee alumni guest were invited to share their talents/career with our theme
"It's a bird, It's a plane .. No.. It's a DRONE! ". The kids were very excited to have as our guest, Dan Workman with his hobby drone. He entertained the kids by showing them how it can take pictures from way above and even allowing a few students to operate it. Guest Brent Koller, Hawk Place parent and teacher at Central Lee, gave students a demonstration also and held unexpected "drone/ student relays" with the students chasing the drone into the sunset. Our other guest, Dylan Stuecker totally enthralling the students with his crop dusting drone, definitely a much bigger version than the two previous drones. The kindergarten students could hardly contain themselves from the excitement and anticipation of seeing this huge drone launch into the sky. We want to thank all three of these guests for coming and giving their time for these kids.
We want to wish our Central Lee students, staff, and families a very happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you and hope you have a wonderful day.

Thank you to Lee County Conservation for visiting for our "Who will speak for the Trees" career day this past week. The Hawk Place students were introduced to the animals in their care as one of the responsibilities of a conservation career. The turtle and the snakes were the highlight, although some were more hesitant than others when they were allowed to "pet" them.
We live in rural Iowa but some of our students have not lived the farm life. They have seen farm animals and the "big combine" in the fields but not been around to experience it themselves. Thursday, FFA members, Aubrey Weber and Dustin Newberry, were our guests for our "Thank a Farmer" Career Day at Hawk's Place. The younger students enjoyed slides showing the field process from planting to harvesting as well as a question/ answer session with the high school students. Today, despite the cold brisk walk to the field, their excitement showed through squeals of delight sending them racing to the field as the combine in the near distance pulled up and the corn came flowing out into the wagon, making the cold all worth it. Thank you to Tom Boeck, Brent Koller and the FFA members for giving of their time for the kids to experience this.
Happy Substitute Educators Day! Central Lee schools and students benefit from dedicated, highly qualified substitute teachers who are always equipped to step into new roles when regular teachers need to be absent. We’re grateful for your positive attitude and commitment to our students!
