It is always a pleasure to receive Honorary members into the Central Lee FFA. It is our intent and purpose to recognize the efforts of individuals on our behalf. According to the FFA Constitution, farmers, school superintendents, principals, members of school boards of education, chapter advisors, teachers, staff members in Ag-Ed, businessmen, and others who are helping advance agriculture and the FFA, and who have rendered outstanding service, may be elected to honorary membership. This year, we would like to recognize those community members who have provided behind the scenes support and have been very instrumental in the success of our chapter. They have advanced our chapter program by giving ideas and offering any possible support while they recognize the importance of agriculture in Iowa. Five individuals were recognized recently at the 2022 Central Lee FFA banquet. Front (L-R) Ms. Sadie Smithburg, Ms. Wendy Buford (back) Dustin Rudd, Dr. Andy Crozier and John Boyer.

The Peer Leader program is a program that has been around for many years at Central Lee. This program is where 7th and 8th grade students go to the elementary and help the teachers and students with a variety of tasks. These 12 (one not pictured) 6th graders were selected to be Peer Leaders for the rest of their middle school career. They received their training for 7th and 8th grade, and will be ready to help out in the elementary classrooms in the fall!
Thank you, Rhonda Taube, on your years of service to Central Lee as a bus driver and associate. Congratulations on your retirement!

Biography Day is an opportunity for students to celebrate their learning through presenting themselves as their historical figure. A patriotic music program was kicked off the event. Students drew a portrait of their person in art class that was displayed. The gym was full of a lovely audience of parents and grandparents. Way to go, students! Job well done!

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!
