The talented Lee County High School Show Choir performed for our middle school students this week! We were blown away by their incredible harmonies, energetic dance moves, and captivating performances. This was a unique opportunity for our middle schoolers to witness firsthand the immense talent and hard work put in by our neighboring high school's show choir. Our middle schoolers witnessed the impressive skills and dedication of Lee County High School Show Choir, which can motivate them in their own artistic journeys. A big shout out to the Lee County High School Show Choir for generously taking the time to perform for our middle school students. We are incredibly grateful for their willingness to inspire and support their younger peers. Let's celebrate the power of music and support our local talent!

A group of AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) students from Lee County High School recently took part in the Teen Outreach Program. As part of this program, they visited East Lee Middle School to conduct a presentation on the topic of bullying. The aim of their presentation was to raise awareness about the issue and provide strategies for prevention. The AVID students engaged the middle school students with interactive exercises and discussions, allowing for an open dialogue about the impact of bullying on individuals and the importance of creating a safe and inclusive school environment. The presentation also included information about the various forms of bullying, such as verbal, physical, emotional, and cyberbullying, emphasizing the negative consequences they can have on a person's mental well-being. Overall, the AVID students' visit to East Lee Middle School was a successful educational initiative that helped empower and equip the younger students with valuable knowledge and tools to combat bullying.
