Submitted Photo Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and Technology Student Association (TSA) members at Lee County Middle School East chose to spend their Saturday morning on March 2,2019, volunteering their time to a worthy cause. The students volunteered as Road Marshalls at the Snicker Marathon. Road Marshalls make sure that the runners stay on course during the race, handle any emergency situations which could occur, and cheer the runners along. We once again saw our very own Superintendent, Dr. Jason Miller, participating in the race. Proceeds from the marathon benefit hospice. Business and Computer Science teacher and FBLA/TSA advisor, Nicole Mallory, accompanied students to this event.
