Hello FamiLEE,

Shout-out to our theatre and technical theatre magnets for an amazing production of their fall play "The Syringa Tree" this week! We wish them the best of luck as they take this play to the upcoming district Trumbauer theatre competition. We will have makeup testing for the 10th grade PreACT, the 11th grade Mock ACT, and the 12th Grade ACT WorkKeys tests this Tuesday, October 22. If your child was absent last week, it is very important that they be here on time Tuesday to take these mandatory assessments.

Please send excuse notes to LHS.Attendance@hsv-k12.org. We are working hard to meet our goal of a 95% attendance rate. Please help us with this effort.

Finally, please help us by making sure your young adult is meeting dress code daily. We do not want this to be our focus, but we do have a dress code and everyone is expected to follow it.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal

• Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from last week! Taiyana King comes to us from Pennsylvania. Here at Lee she is in the theater magnet. In her spare time she likes to practice reading scripts, singing, reading, and watching Netflix. When she graduates from high school she would like to go to college and major in theater. Her favorite teacher at Lee is Ms. Bacik because she is sweet, kind, helpful, and inspires her! Luis Domingo-Francisco comes to us from Chapman Middle. Here at Lee he is involved with the Tech Theater program and is currently helping with the production of “The Syringa Tree.” In his spare time he likes to text and chat with his friends. When he graduates from high school he would like to go to UAB to study neuroscience and become a neurologist. His favorite teacher at Lee is Ms. Campolongo because she is nice and very helpful.
