PSA for our educators, staff, and PTA members: 📢
You know firsthand how important it is to invest in our students and their futures. While the knowledge gained in the classroom is essential, the lessons learned through extracurricular activities can be just as impactful!
Sports teach our students teamwork, leadership, and perseverance—valuable life skills that serve them on and off the field.
By supporting our efforts to upgrade Central Lee’s sports complex, you’re helping ensure these opportunities continue for all students. Learn more at bit.ly/CLBBSBRenovation.
