    tTerry Lee was Fine gentleman and educator! He was caring both for his staff and for the children in his building! Terry always had a good thought and smile on his face! I worked with him in many ways! after he retired, he came to the senior center! What good times we had!I offer him a paint brush to join us and he just laughed and said look at who your talking too! Terry Lee , you will be missed

    If ever there was a life well-lived, it was our friend’s Terry Lee. He served the children at Avery School and the community as a Garden Club and Green Bellevue member. I knew him and admired his good spirit. Our loss is heaven’s gain.

    Mr. Lee was an awesome principal. He was very understanding and helped me adjust to a new school and helped through some anxiety I was having moving to a new school.
