❤️🖤 MEET THE STAFF MONDAY | For Yolanda Womble, coming back to Broadway means coming home

For Broadway School Counselor Yolanda Womble, serving students is deeply personal.

After beginning her Lee County Schools career at Broadway as a teacher assistant, Womble has come full circle – returning to the school where her journey began and making it her mission to ensure every student knows one simple truth: You matter.

“When those students walk through those doors, I’m looking for who needs me,” Womble said. “The whole time I just want to allow them to be heard and feel seen.”

Now in her 18th year with Lee County Schools, Womble draws on her own life experiences to be the person she once needed as a child – a listener, and encourager, and one of her students’ loudest cheerleaders.

🎨Future Focused Friday | Creating Skills for a Lifetime

Visual arts give students much more than an opportunity to create. Through drawing, painting, design and other forms of artistic expression, students develop creativity, problem solving skills, and the confidence to turn an idea into something meaningful.

The process of creating also teaches students to observe closely, think critically, make decisions and adapt when things do not go as planned – skills that will serve them in classrooms, careers and life beyond graduation.

By giving students opportunities to explore their creativity today, our visual arts programs are helping lay a strong foundation for future success. Every blank canvas is a chance to imagine what is possible. 🎨✨

🚌BREAKING NEW GROUND! 🚧

Lee County Schools officially broke ground today on a new Transportation Facility, marking the start of a long-awaited project that will provide a modern, state-of-the-art home for the team that helps keep our students moving safely every day.

For more than 50 years, our transportation staff has made the most of a facility built in the 1970’s. Now, a new chapter is beginning. This chapter will provide improved workspace, resources, and infrastructure to better support our employees, maintain our bus fleet and serve the thousands of students who depend on school transportation each day.

As Superintendent Dr. Chris Dossenbach shared, this project is “an investment in the people and infrastructure that make it possible for Lee County Schools to serve all of our students each and every day.”

We’re excited to see this much needed facility begin to take shape and grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible!

🎭🎶 Well-Being Wednesday | National Arts in Education Week 🎨🎺

The arts are an important part of helping students thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Programs like theatre, band, visual arts, and other creative opportunities give students spaces to express themselves, build confidence, collaborate with others, and discover where their talents can take them. At the same, arts education enriches the academic experience by strengthening creativity, communication, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

This week, we celebrate the educators and students who make the arts such a vibrant part of our schools and recognize the role arts education plays in supporting the whole student - academically, socially, and emotionally.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has proclaimed September 13-19, 2026, as Arts in Education Week, recognizing arts education as an essential part of a complete and well-rounded education.
