Greetings people of Earth! :) My name is Lauralee, and I'm a senior in the class of 2013!! I have been in the STEM program since the beginning of my freshman year, and I abso-posi-lutely love it. Up until this year, I played the flute in the Robert E. Lee High School band. I am currently a member of two different robotics teams, one for BEST robotics and one for the FIRST robotics. This year, I am also a member of Lee's newspaper staff (as you can probably tell).
