Lee SHINES

Join Mrs. Poteet and Mrs. Anderton on campus or virtually in monthly gatherings to learn more about what’s happening at Lee. We will meet the third Thursday of each month at noon. The virtual link will be shared through email.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We appreciate and value the contributions Hispanic histories and cultures have on our society.

Parents and guardians are invited to campus once a month to eat lunch with their child(ren) outside. Lunch times are listed below. You may bring food for your child or they can get a tray from the cafeteria. Please arrive early so that you have plenty of time to get settled in before your child's lunch time. We are looking forward to seeing you! Use the link below to RSVP.

In the case of bad weather, the lunch will not be rescheduled and will resume the next month.

Save the date! Join us as we support our local businesses by shopping at our Caddo Christmas. We are hosting a day of shopping with businesses from Caddo Mills, Greenville, and Royse City. If you want to have a booth, please complete the form on the attached link. If you have questions, please email apayne@caddomillsisd.org

Each month, we will focus on a specific character trait. Mrs. Hogan provides daily announcements and guidance lessons regarding that trait to help the students put it in action. The trait for the month of October is GRIT. The parent newsletter is also attached.
