On September 12, 2017, Lee Elementary magnet school suffered total loss as a result of a 3-alarm fire. The fire is believed to have been caused by damage related to hurricane Irma, and started immediately after power was restored to the schools neighborhood. Constructed in 1906, Lee elementary was Tampa's oldest brick schoolhouse and it is a devastating loss to the community. Students and teachers lost everything in their classrooms as they awaited to return to school in the aftermath of hurricane Irma.
Lee Elementary was a technology magnet school and will need significant help restocking and rebuilding to return to a sense of normalcy. Please consider donating to help Lee Elementary students and teachers rebuild their classrooms.

I am so sorry that I have taken a long time to thank your for your gracious donations. Between the fire, having my first child, and moving homes, it has been a crazy few months! The easel itself has made life much easier. I am able to write right on it when teaching around the room. It holds anchor charts perfectly! No more wasting precious time trying to find a spot to hang it or having to move it in order to see the projection screen!
The literacy games are so much fun for the kids, and I myself love using them. They are already prepared, durable, and engaging. The reader's theater is perfect for working with my fluency groups. We love having a card for each student, with their parts already highlighted! It makes life so much easier. The reading comprehension activity for partners is also highly engaging! They love quizzing each other. In addition, the file folder games are very useful and suit many purposes. Overall, my students have enjoyed learning to read using these materials. We can't thank you enough! I plan to utilize them year after year!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Negron
