Hello FamiLEE,

We had a great week ending with Lee High School teachers earning a combined total of $30,400 worth of DRIVE grants from Toyota and the United Way! We are so excited for our teachers and overall school.

Just as a reminder, report cards were sent home Thursday. If you have questions about your child's grade, please contact his/her teacher.

Come out and celebrate the football game tonight against Hazel Green at Hazel Green High School. We are ending College Application Week. Senior parents, please ask your child what college they applied to.

Our Magnet Fall Arts Festival will be in the Theatre area tomorrow, October 12th between 10am-12pm and we invite all of you to attend. Our theatre magnet will be putting on their first play "The Syringa Tree" next week between October 17-19, 2024. Tickets can be purchased at leehightheatre.ludus.com.

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,

• Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from this week! Sophia Castillo comes to us from AAA Middle. Here at Lee she is in the marching band and is in the Creative Writing magnet.
