Lee SHINES

We have had a wonderful start to the school year. We have enjoyed seeing our returning foxes and getting to know our new fox families. Teachers are planning and teaching engaging lessons. Mrs. Hogan, our counselor, is providing guidance lessons and meeting with all our foxes. Our CMISD officers introduced themselves to students and encouraged them to do their best. Lee PTO met and are planning some exciting events for our campus. It's going to be a great year! Lee SHINES!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Poteet & Mrs. Anderton
