LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Welcome to the last day of school!
Thank you to all the volunteers who have been cleaning up the walls to prepare for this summer's hallway painting and organization project!
Volunteers make a huge impact in our community and to see so many people coming out in the final days of the semester to help with graduation, field trips, copy cats, yearbook distribution, Library, etc is truly inspiring!

End of Year GiftCrowd
Let's finish the year strong by showing support for our teachers and staff who have gone above and beyond to provide the best learning experiences for our Roadrunners! Contribute to the school-wide GiftCrowd today! Your participation is entirely optional but highly appreciated. CONTRIBUTE HERE.
The community has been extremely generous to the Non-Instructional pool so on this final day of giving, I strongly encourage you to concentrate your gifts toward the "instructional" team, which includes all grade level, Essential Areas, and SPED teachers.
Yearbook signing + EOY Celebration
RSVP for an epic last day of school meet up / yearbook signing at Central Market today, May 23rd. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to bring their yearbooks and get them signed. Exchange contact information for summer playdates and enjoy time with friends.

Lee Color Days - May 13-23
Heads up COLOR DAYS are happening now!! One of our Lee traditions is to close out the year by having the whole school dress in the same color each day. It is, of course, not required, but it helps make the last few days fun and special. Here is the color calendar.
Questions: neil.mcintyre@austinisd.org

Color Days Schedule

Memorialize your family in the halls of Lee
Fami-Lee, You might remember that we had a temporary exhibit hosting Russell Lee photos back in January. As a result, we are featured in the Washington Post this week as they spotlight Russell Lee's work and lasting impact. Check out the article here and then please consider sponsoring one of Lee's photos to expand our permanent collection to the 2nd floor: https://russellleepta.square.site. Each donor will be recognized by name beside the photo they've sponsored.
Lost & Found
Will be outside the school all day the final day so please stop by to claim your lost items. Any remaining items will be donated!

PTA Year In Review
The PTA is a huge operation that is sometimes difficult to describe so we made an infographic to help you see the breadth of our scope and how our fundraising and expenses ended up this year.
Thanks for reading this week's Roadrunner Rundown. As always feel free to share your comments or feature suggestions with Clarissa at communications@russellleepta.org or online here. Join our caregiver Facebook group!
