ABC Countdown to Summer! The school year is zooming by, and what better way to wrap up an amazing year than with an ABC Countdown filled with fun, learning, and a little bit of silly every day! Starting Thursday, April 10, each school day will highlight a letter of the alphabet with a special theme or activity. From A for Art Day to Z for Zoom into Summer, we invite all K–2 students and families to join in on the excitement. Let’s finish the 2024–25 school year with laughter, learning, and LOTS of memories! Be sure to check SeeSaw so you’re ready to participate each day. Whether it’s hat day Jersey Day, every letter brings a new surprise! Z is for Zooming into Summer! And just like that… we’ve zipped through the alphabet AND an unforgettable school year! Thank you to all the families, students, and staff who joined the fun, brought the energy, and helped us countdown in style. From A to Z, you made each day special—and now it’s time to celebrate all the growth, giggles, and goals we reached together. Have a GREAT last 26 days, CCLee

Thank You, C.C. Lee Families! Hoop Dreams was a slam dunk—thanks to you! We set out with a goal of raising $7,500, and the incredible generosity of our C.C. Lee community made it happen. Because of your thoughtful giving, we’ll be installing brand-new basketball standards and a fresh blacktop area this fall for our 4th and 5th grade students to enjoy for years to come. A big shoutout to Ms. Ferguson’s 3rd grade class—our top fundraising classroom! They’ve earned a well-deserved pizza party! And congratulations to Officer Kline, who took home the win in the Free Throw Challenge, which means every student will be enjoying an Oreo (or two)! From the bottom of our hearts—thank you. Your support makes a difference. #aberdeenpublicschools #goEagles

We are so incredibly grateful for our amazing C.C. Lee PTA Board! Their generous giving, thoughtful planning, and tireless preparation mean the world to our staff and students. It’s truly heartwarming to see such wonderful, organized, and dedicated parents step up to support our school. The entire building feels the joy and energy that comes from your efforts—you make a real difference, and we can’t thank you enough!

Dear C.C. Lee Families, Thank you so much for your incredible support of the Hoop Dreams Challenge! With your generosity, we’ve already raised just over $7,000—including today’s donations for shots made—which means we have less than $500 to go to reach our goal! Your involvement makes a big difference, and we’re so grateful to have such an amazing school community rallying behind our students. With appreciation, C.C. Lee Staff

5th graders at CCL loved learning about robots and using their Lego building and programming skills to complete tasks. Thanks go to Becca Tulllar with Brown County 4H for all her expertise. #GoEagles #aberdeenpublicschools #browncounty4H #ccleesoar

After just two days of giving at C.C. Lee for our Hoop Dream Challenge, we’ve already surpassed $1,800! Watch as the basketballs fill in our banner—each one representing the generosity and spirit of our amazing community. Let’s keep the momentum going! Team C.C. Lee

Dear C.C. Lee Families, We’re reaching out for a little extra help! This summer (2025), our South Playground will be getting a much-needed update. Unfortunately, our basketball standards have been damaged, and with rising costs, we need additional funds to replace and mount new ones. To make this happen, we’re aiming to raise $7,500 and would greatly appreciate your support! We’ll be collecting donations and hosting a fun free-throw shooting competition to help reach our goal. If you’re able to contribute, we would be so grateful for your generosity. Every little bit helps in providing a great space for our students to play and grow. Thank you for your support! C.C. Lee Elementary
