The Lee Youth Commission regrets to announce that we are canceling this weekend's Family Skate Night at the Lee Town Rink due to warmer weather and the possibility of rain. We hope to be able to reopen the rink later this month when the temperature drops again. If possible, we will reschedule the Family Skate Night. Until further notice though, we are asking people to stay off of the ice. Sincerely, Josh Bloom Lee Youth Commission MemberLee Youth Commission Hosts Family Skate Night at Town Square Park

The contest is now open and the deadline for entries to be turned into the Morris main office is February 12th. This year's theme is "BUS STOP SAFETY". Please remember that all signs need to be hand drawn or digitally created in landscape format. The four winning designs from all participating schools in MA will be made into yard signs and distributed to all the schools entered in the contest. This contest is for students in Grades 2-8. Your design can be submitted on 8 1/2 x 11 paper/or digitally in a landscape format. All submissions must be received to the main office by the end of the school day on February 12th. At that time I will collect them and prepare to send them to them to the Safe Routes to Schools Office in Boston.If you could please download and fill out the form below as a parent/guardian's signature is required for your student to participate.
