We are #CISDProud to announce that that during the recent Board Meeting on Aug. 28, Richard J. Lee Elementary was recognized for receiving the 2023 Student Leadership award from the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA). This recognition is a testament to the exceptional character, integrity, and unwavering eagerness to help displayed by the learners in grades K-5 who make up the remarkable "LEEdership council." These young LEEders have showcased the true essence of leadership through their selfless actions and positive contributions. From adding a touch of positivity to teachers' days by decorating coffee sleeves with uplifting messages to making a lasting impact through acts of kindness, Richard J. Lee's LEEdership Council shines as a beacon of inspiration. During "The Great Kindness Challenge" week, they channeled their creativity to design posters for Coppell Middle School West, spreading kindness one poster at a time. Their dedication to the community doesn't stop there — through a successful canned food drive for Sack Summer Hunger in support of Metrocrest Services, they've shown their commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Also, as the school year drew to a close in May 2023, these extraordinary LEEders encouraged fellow learners to create Memorial Day Cards, a touching gesture that resonated deeply as they placed these heartfelt cards on gravesites at the DFW National Cemetery. Let's give a resounding applause to Richard J. Lee Elementary for instilling such outstanding leadership qualities in our young learners and for shaping a future filled with compassion, kindness and positive change. #CISDMissionPossible
