SAVE THE DATE! On May 14, we’ll be celebrating the inductees to the Central Lee Academic, Athletic, and Fine Arts Halls of Fame.
Those inducted in both 2020 and 2021 will be honored at this event. This will be the first time we have been able to hold an in-person ceremony due to the impact of the pandemic over the past couple years, so we are especially excited!
The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. at Central Lee High School on Saturday, May 14. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Congratulations to the High School Large Group Speech Team for making it to State Large Group Contest. They performed at Kennedy High School and received two II ratings and a I rating. Well done ladies!
Spring has sprung! 🌱🌷☀️☂️
Today is the spring equinox and the official first day of spring. Also called the vernal equinox, it is a day of equal amounts of daylight and darkness in all parts of the world as the sun passes directly over the equator.
Fun fact: Equinox comes from the latin words “aequus” (equal) and “nox” (night), literally translating to “equal night.” #Proud2bCL
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We feel 🍀lucky🍀 to have our engaged and dedicated students, our committed and talented staff, and to serve in our supportive community! #Proud2bCL
It’s International Pi Day!
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.
In mathematics, pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. That is, if you drew a circle and measured its circumference (the length around the perimeter of a circle) and then divided that number with the length of that same circle’s diameter (the measure of a circle from left to right passing through the center point), your answer would always be the same: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679…and so on, since Pi is an infinite number and the decimal points can go on forever! #PiDay #Proud2bCL
Just a reminder that #DaylightSaving starts this weekend! Be sure to set your clocks forward one hour. The change takes effect at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. ⏰ #Proud2bCL
On Friday, March 11, the Central Lee Community School District will join schools and other organizations around the world to celebrate International Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Day.
SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Central Lee is proud to provide social emotional learning resources to support student and staff mental health, build positive social interactions and promote equity and access for all! #SELDay #Proud2bCL
The weather may have gotten in the way of Grand Brunch planned for today, but we will pivot and provide an opportunity to support the library tomorrow, Saturday, March 12th from 8:00 am - 10:00 am. Please come out before you head on those spring break trips and grab the kiddos some new reading materials and a dozen donuts. Thank you for your flexibility and support!
Due to today only being a scheduled half day, Central Lee is canceling school on Friday, March 11, 2022 due to winter weather. Enjoy an early start to Spring Break!
The past week Hawk's Place students have enjoyed various field trips to Ft Madison. Kindergarten and first grade students visited Addington Place and performed a song with guest guitarist, Dave Roth. Second and third grade students celebrated Dr Seuss's birthday with residents at the Kensington and enjoyed a visit to Ft Madison Area Arts Center while our older students enjoyed a little Irish fun at Elliott Test Kitchen!
Due to winter weather and projected forecast, Central Lee will be dismissing at 1:30 p.m. on March 10, 2022. P/T conferences will be rescheduled after Spring Break. There will be no PM preschool.
