Dear Parents,
Can you believe that we start school in about two weeks? I hope that this email finds your family enjoying these last two weeks of summer. Our amazing teachers have been working hard this summer by writing curriculum and attending Learning at Lovejoy. This is one of my favorite times of year, and I can't wait to see all of our students. I have missed their beautiful faces, great questions, and amazing gifts. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me through email, text, or phone. As a reminder, you are more than welcome to call or text me on my cell phone at 214-551-4503.
All My Best,
Wendy Craft
