• Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from last week! Amber Ruffin comes to us from ASFL Middle. Here at Lee she is in the tech theater magnet and is on the wrestling team. In her spare time she likes to listen to music and spend her time with her pets. When she graduates from high school she would like to go to college and become a pilot. Her favorite teacher at Lee is Mrs. Jiang because she does brain breaks with us. Bailey Moore comes to us from AAA Middle. Here at Lee he is in the film and video magnet. In his spare time he likes to draw, produce music, and play video games. When he graduates from high school he would like to become an entrepreneur or get into computer engineering. His favorite teacher at Lee is Mr. Lee because we have similar interests like action figures and I am really interested in his class. Congratulations to both of them for representing our FamiLEE values so well!
