It's about time that someone say something about some recent events at Lee. The much loved principal at Lee resigned abruptly shortly after the start of the 2022/23 school year. It appeared to be a disagreement with the district superintendent. Since the principal's departure it is very clear that morale, excitement and the magic that once was in abundance all around Lee, has diminished significantly. Parent participation and community donations have dropped significantly. District administration has awkwardly tried to push propaganda that one person doesn't make a difference, in trying to insinuate that the formal principal had little influence on the magic at Lee. It's very disheartening that a personal squabble between a great principal and once decent superintendent sacrificed the educational experience of hundreds of elementary students. One person CAN make a huge difference. Shame on the district Administration and superintendent for attempting to brainwash the kids, parents, teachers and community to think otherwise. Regardless of that unfortunate disagreement, the former principal instilled wonderful values of respect, curiosity for knowledge and a strong sense of community inclusion that will hopefully continue to radiate positivity and perseverance until a new principal can resuscitate the magic at Lee. YOU are the magic! Don't ever forget that.
