How great it is to be a ROCKET! 🚀

We’ve had a GREAT first couple of days of school! We’ve learned procedures, reviewed rules and expectations, and started getting into the routines that help us be successful.

We’ve also had some fun, reconnected with old friends, and made new ones along the way!

Now, we’re ready to ROCK our academics! 📚May this be a year filled with growth, success, memories, and moments that make us ALL proud.

Here’s to a year for the books! LET’S GO, EAST LEE! 🚀❤️💙 Charting the Course to Success!

👟 Give Your Old Sneakers a New Purpose! ♻️

Most students receive new shoes at the beginning of the school year, so what better time to recycle those old sneakers?

East Lee PTO is partnering with GotSneakers, a sneaker recycling organization that provides funds for collected shoes. All proceeds will help us recognize and celebrate our students and staff throughout the school year!

Drop off your gently worn sneakers at:

Front Office, Car Rider Line, Gym, or in Ms. McNickle’s Office

Every pair makes a difference!

Churches & Community Partners,

We would love for you to join us in this effort! If you organization would like to participate, I will gladly drop off a collection bag and return to pick it up when it’s full. Let’s work together to make a difference for our Rockets!

Thank you for supporting East Lee PTO and helping us turn old sneakers into new opportunities for our students and staff!
