Teacher Appreciation Week

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Incredible Teachers

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are looking forward to celebrating the incredible school team at LCES!

Our staff goes above and beyond every day! They create engaging experiences that spark a love of learning in our children. They're patient mentors, offering support and encouragement when students need support! We pride ourselves on creating a safe space for students to share their worries and dreams.

Our staff actively seek ways to connect with families, building positive partnerships that help students thrive. We also appreciate the ways in which they create a welcoming environment, where parents feel involved in their child's education.

A big THANK YOU to all our amazing teachers and staff! Their hard work, dedication, and connection with your children are truly making a difference. We appreciate our LCES staff!! Connected, We Are Stronger!

All County Chorus

Congrats LC Singers!

We’d like to congratulate the 6th grade students who represented Lees Corner at this year’s All-County Choral Festival. The students were selected by audition and then worked hard over several months to prepare challenging music. The festival was last weekend at Hayfield Secondary and featured over 600 singers from around the county. They presented a fantastic concert on Saturday. Our students did an amazing job representing our Lees Corner community! Congratulations to all of our LC singers!!


Band

Let’s Go Band!!!

We are so proud of our 120 fifth and sixth grade band students who performed two assemblies and one evening concert yesterday!  They did a superb job performing for our entire school community and represented Lees Corner so well. The audience enjoyed listening to six different pieces of music, including Katy Perry’s “Firework” arranged by Michael Story, and even learned how each instrument produces its sound.  Hearing their progress was incredible.  We are all so proud of the hard work and dedication of our band students and our directors, Ms. Ammirati and Mrs. Hill. 


Beautification Day at Lees Corner on Saturday, May 18
