The 7th grade Social Studies classes had the opportunity to listen to a guest speaker over zoom after the US Government Unit. The speaker is a Captain in the Marines who will be assigned to the embassy in Seoul, South Korea. They will be responsible for security of the embassy, advising the ambassador, and traveling to other countries to deal with foreign relations. The speaker discussed careers in the military, responsibilities of the embassy and the State Department, and different traits and skills that make a great Leader. The speaker was excellent, and the students were able to connect unit content to the real world and district goals. Thank you, Captain! (For security purposes, the name or identity of the Captain cannot be shared.)

Central Lee CSD will be on a two hour delay for Thursday, January 20, 2022 due to winter wind chill temperatures.

Brent Hickenbottom, Dallas City native, residing in St. Louis, came to our school to share his stories with us. All grade levels experienced his enthusiastic presentation and learned about his choice of writing style and a bit about illustration. He engaged student's prior knowledge and was blown away by our students' understanding. He also read aloud his two books to students. We want students to see the potential for them to become authors and illustrators as their future career.
