Happy New Year Lees Corner Families! We hope that everyone had an enjoyable winter break. We're excited for what's to come for the remainder of the school year. It's been a great first week back with students. Today we welcomed Joe Romano and his assembly "The Magic In You". Both shows were engaging, exciting, and entertaining with powerful messages for all students. Thanks PTA for making this possible!
