It’s National School Social Work Week!
The Central Lee Community School District would like to thank our school social workers – and school social workers across the nation – for their dedication to helping students achieve academic success and social-emotional balance!
Our school social workers help students deal with mental health and behavioral challenges and provide academic and classroom support. They also help in developing education policies, work with crisis interventions, and are the link between the home, school and community providing direct and indirect services to students, families and school personnel!
Thank you, school social workers! #Proud2bCL

The 7th grade students spent Wednesday morning picking up litter all around campus. They have been learning about the dangers of plastic pollution and finding sustainable solutions in social studies class, so it was a good experience for them to take action at school. They picked up 24-20 gallon bags and 2-55 gallon bags worth of trash, including interesting items such as 2 TV remotes, a Batmobile, and an alien monkey!

Happy Read Across America Day!
Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA) and guided by a committee of educators, NEA’s Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. The year-round program’s theme is “Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers” and focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.
The titles and resources featured by NEA’s Read Across America include books that students can see themselves reflected in, as well as books that allow readers to see a world or a character that might be different from them.
Readers who feel included, recognized, and a part of the world are engaged readers.
For NEA’s book suggestions at all reading levels or for more information on Read Across America Day, visit https://www.nea.org/! #Proud2bCL
