🏋️‍♂️ Summer Workout Recognition 🏋️‍♀️

We want to congratulate all of our Central Lee athletes who achieved 80% or higher participation in our summer strength and conditioning program! Your commitment, discipline, and effort over the summer are setting the foundation for success this upcoming season.

Summer workouts are more than just lifting weights — they build strength, speed, endurance, and mental toughness. It is also builds a culture that is strong in perseverance and leadership. Successful athletes put in the work when no one is watching, and these athletes have done just that.

Congratulations to our dedicated athletes! We are proud of your hard work and can’t wait to see the results on the field, court, and track this year. Keep raising the bar, stay consistent, and remember — champions are built in the offseason!

Several members of Central Lee FFA proudly represented our chapter at the Iowa State Fair this year! From exhibiting livestock to volunteering as stage attendants and ushers, our students were busy showcasing their hard work and leadership.

Many of the students who exhibited animals did so as part of their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects—real-world learning that combines responsibility, dedication, and hands-on agricultural skills.

We are so proud of the time and effort these members put into their projects and service at the fair.
