Shout-Outs

Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from last week! Sanaya Gilbreath comes to us from Chapman Middle School. Here at Lee, she is a part of the Soccer team and has auditioned to be a part of the Vocal Performance Magnet next year. In her free time, she enjoys reading all kinds of books. After graduating from high school, she wants to go to college to become a vet or a lawyer. Her favorite teacher here at Lee is Mr. Mitchell because he's very helpful and always there for her when she needs it and always puts the students first and even though he's always stressed out, he does a good job trying to hide it. Elvis Manzanarez-Torres comes to us from Morris Middle School. Here at Lee, he is a part of the Photography Magnet and next year, he will be a part of the Media Arts magnet. In his free time, he enjoys making videos and playing videogames. After graduating from high school, he wants to go to college but is unsure of what he wants to study. Here at Lee, his favorite teacher is Ms. Simpson because she's really funny and helps him a lot. Congratulations to both of them for living out our #FamiLEE values so well!
