• Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from last week! Victori Adeniji coems to us from the Academy for Science and Foreign Language Middle School. Here at Lee, she is a part of the Photoghraphy Magnet. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and eating Nigerian food and acting in her churches drama team. Her favorite teachers so far are Ms. Simpson because you can take to her and she is very helpful and Coach B because she is funny, nice, and outgoing. After graduating from Lee, she plans to go to MIT and become a computer programmer. Amare White comes to us from the Academy for Academics and Arts Middle School. Here at Lee, he is a member of the Creative Writing Magnet and the choir. He has a twin sister here at Lee, enjoys singing, and is not sure what he wants to do after graduation, but he knows it will have something to do with writing. His favorite teacher so far is Ms. Renaud because you can ask her for help with anything and she will always sit down and talk with you. Congratulations to both of them for living out our #FamiLEE values so well!
