This spring Central Lee Elementary shined a spotlight on our Community Heroes! We spent a week learning more about what each of the following groups does to help keep us safe. 1) LeeComm taught us about how and when to call 9-1-1. 2) The Lee County Sheriff's Department and local police discussed their role in keeping our community safe. 3) Our Donnellson and Montrose Fire Departments taught us Fire Safety & Lee County EMS showed us their useful equipment they use when they come to help us after a 9-1-1 call. 4) Our GRANDS came to support our book fair- WE LOVE and appreciate those who keep us safe at home each day. Thank you to all who took time to educate our students and accept our gratitude for your service to our community!
