We'll have staff stationed at all doors so we'll be glad to watch them while you make your way to the front to check in. You may then make your way to the south doors through the building to retrieve your party items. Student will be released at 12:00 on the 16th.

Upcoming Sing Along
This year's Lovejoy Elementary Sing Along will look like last year's Leopard Live/Sing Along. It will be on the last day of school before our winter break, with songs being sung during our third six week Leopard Live, between grade level awards. Our choir will sing and there will be a few songs following our recognition assembly but the majority of our songs will be embedded in our award's assembly. As in the past, you are all welcome.
