🎨 Budding Artists Shine Bright! 🎨

We are so proud to celebrate our incredibly talented student artists featured in the Fort Madison Area Art Association’s Budding Artist Show, showcasing artwork from Central Lee PK–8 students alongside other local schools.

A special shoutout to our amazing art teacher, Mrs. Ann Canida, whose passion and creativity inspire students every day. This year, the exhibit includes 270 art projects with an impressive 326 Central Lee student artists represented (group projects boosted the number of artists even beyond the project total!).

Here are just a few examples shared with Principal Fuger of the beautiful work you can see on display throughout the month at the FMAAA Art Center. Each piece reflects imagination, effort, and pride.

We invite our families and community to stop by, support our young artists, and celebrate the creativity growing right here in our schools.

Our hearts are full 💛

This week, our Little Hawks shared joy by singing carols at local nursing homes, while our elementary students created personalized banners filled with love and encouragement—beautifully led by art teacher Ann Canida.

The smiles, happy tears, and warm welcomes from residents reminded us all that leadership starts with caring for others. Small acts. Big impact.

So proud of our Hawks for leading with kindness and heart.
