Middle School spent last Friday afternoon giving back to our community. They participated in a variety of projects and places--Bingo with Montrose Health Care and River Hills residents, community clean up projects in Keokuk, Donnellson, Montrose, Appleberry Orchard, and at school. They helped at PAWS pet shelter, Montrose Ball field, made May baskets for Montrose Health Center, and did a landscaping project at school. They were amazing, and accomplished a lot in one afternoon! We are so proud of our students, staff and parents who helped make this day a success!!
Yesterday was National School Principals Day! We want to take a moment to recognize all the incredible school principals at Central Lee. Thank you to Nicole Herdrich, Kim Ensminger, and Heather Fuger for your leadership! 😊

Students also learned about beekeeping from guest, Dave Tull and sign language from Hawk Place's Ms Abby. Thank you Dave and Abby!

Middle School conducted their Battle of the Books (BoB) competition on Wednesday. All students participated in the morning preliminary rounds, and the top two teams from each grade competed against each other and a staff team in the afternoon.

This week is a great time to visit the Donnellson Public Library or Montrose Public Library!
