Community support in action! 🐏🌳

Thank you to this local business for lending a hand and helping make North Lee’s track a better place for our students.

Join us in showing appreciation for community partners who invest in our schools! 👏

A little Friday morning cleanup! 🌳💚

We took some time this morning to trim back some of the overgrown trees around the track at North Lee Elementary so the kids can have a clear, safe place to run and enjoy.

We’re proud to be a locally owned business, but even more proud to be part of this community. Sometimes supporting our local schools just means seeing something that needs to be done and lending a hand. 💚

Here’s to lots of miles, smiles, and happy runners on this track this year! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
