What a SPLASH-tastic way to celebrate Read Across America! Our C.C. Lee students worked hard, read tons, and earned the ultimate reward — the chance to DUNK Mr. Osborn! And that’s not all… the winning teachers got to PIE him too! The excitement was sky-high, and the laughs were even louder. Huge thanks to Mrs. Schmidt, Mrs. Reierson, Mrs. Lott, and Mrs. Hansen for organizing this unforgettable event. Keep those pages turning, C.C. Lee — reading really does pay off!





Tuesday, May 20, is the last day of school—a half day at #AberdeenPublicSchools! Have a great summer, Golden Eagles! We'll see you back at school on Monday, Aug. 18—a full day for grades 1-9 and half day for grades 10-12! #GoEagles 💙💛


Today, we celebrated our amazing 5th graders as they took center stage one last time at C.C. Lee before heading off to their next big adventure—middle school! Whether they’re bound for Holgate or Simmons, these students are stepping forward with excitement, courage, and backpacks full of memories.
They proudly shared their “Top 10 Highlights” from their time at C.C. Lee—laugh-out-loud moments, field trip favorites, and unforgettable friendships. But beyond the highlights, we hope they carry with them the feeling of being known, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. That’s what really matters.
To our students: you’ve made us proud.
To our parents: thank you for partnering with us.
To our teachers and staff: your impact is woven into each goodbye.
To our community: your support helped shape these young minds.
The journey continues—but C.C. Lee will always be your foundation. Here’s to big dreams, brave hearts, and a future full of promise!


Congratulations to C.C. Lee's Porter Bindenagel, first place local winner of the S.D. Retired School Personnel Grandparent Essay Contest, and O.M. Tiffany's Eleanor Buckhouse, second place winner! https://www.aberdeen.k12.sd.us/article/2214176 #GoEagles #AberdeenPublicSchools



A heartfelt surprise!
C.C. Lee teachers were all smiles today after receiving thoughtful “Thank You” cards from former students—now proud Golden Eagles at Aberdeen Central. What a meaningful gesture! Huge thanks to the CHS staff for helping make this happen, and to our incredible C.C. Lee staff for the lasting impact you’ve made. You are making a difference every single day!
