What an incredible day for our student leaders! Meeting Governor Rhoden was a powerful, real-world example of leadership in action. Experiences like this bring learning to life and show our students that their voices matter at every level. We are so proud of our 3rd and 4th grade Student Council members for representing C.C. Lee with pride, curiosity, and confidence. A sincere thank you to Governor Rhoden and his team for investing in our students and making this such a meaningful and memorable experience!

On Friday, #AberdeenPublicSchools hosted Governor Larry Rhoden for a bill signing at Holgate Middle School!

Student Council members from Holgate and C.C. Lee Elementary were in attendance as the Governor signed education-related bills.

That includes a bill championed by Superintendent Dr. Becky Guffin that establishes a therapeutic services center in Aberdeen to provide services for students who are disrupting classrooms.

Thank you, Governor Rhoden!

Huge thanks to Mr. Beck and Mrs. Scarborough for stopping by C.C. Lee to visit with our 5th graders! 🙌

Our students were fully engaged as the middle school team gave them an exciting peek at what lies ahead next year. From new opportunities to what middle school life looks like, it was a great chance for our students to start thinking about their next step in their learning journey.

Moments like this help make the transition smoother and build excitement for the future. The road to middle school officially begins! 🚀

We appreciate the time you took to connect with our students and start the planning for their next chapter.

Our Number Ninjas were hard at work this week, and the results were incredible! An extremely high number of students leveled up by mastering their math facts and earning new belts. Your dedication, practice, and perseverance are truly impressive!

A special congratulations to our newest BLACK BELT, who has shown incredible focus and determination on the path to math mastery. That is an amazing accomplishment!

We are also proud of all the students who earned Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, White,Purple, Brown, and Red belts this week. Your commitment to practicing your facts is paying off.

Our students are becoming true Fact Fighters, slicing through multiplication facts with speed and accuracy. Keep training, Ninjas! 🥷➗✖️

The dojo doors stay open… who will level up next? 🥋#NumberNinjasAberdeenArea

🔥🥷 Number Ninjas Update from C.C. Lee! 🥷🔥

Three more Number Ninjas are officially at peace after rising above the Black Belt assessment — what an incredible accomplishment! Your focus, perseverance, and sharp math skills continue to set the standard. 💪📊

The momentum doesn’t stop there! We’ve also seen strong progress across the dojo with students earning Green, Orange, Purple, Brown, and Blue Belts. Each step forward shows the dedication our Ninjas are bringing every single day.

And in our Second Degree (Division) ranks, students are thriving as White and Yellow Belts have been delivered. Way to keep slicing through those facts with confidence!

🎉 Congratulations, Number Ninjas — keep climbing, keep striving, and keep SOARing! 🦅
