P
arents and Guardians,
Thanks to everyone who organized and participated in Leopard Friday this past week. As far back as I can remember, it was the largest turnout of kids and adults we have had. It was a great afternoon of face painting, games, candy, and lots of other activities. Leopard Friday is one of our unique Lovejoy traditions, and I hope you were able to attend.
Don't forget that this upcoming weekend is a four-day weekend for students and teachers. Friday, October 5th and Monday, October 8th are holidays, and LHS will not have school on those days. Dual Credit students may have class and will need to communicate with their professors to find out specific scheduling information for those days.
Please take a few minutes to review the information and recognitions below.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

Senior Project - Funds for Autism
Zachary Taylor
, a senior at Lovejoy High School, would like to thank you for your help with his senior project:
"Hello! I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who bought a ribbon or two at Leopard Friday and to those who donated online for the Autism Walk this past weekend. We had a great turnout and the weather was perfect during the walk. We finished just in time before the rain started to come down on us. Not only did I meet my goal of raising $500 toward the walk, the donation total was over $700. If you would still like to donate, the deadline is 10/29/2018. The combined donations from the ribbons sale and the walk was over $850. We had a fun time walking for such a great cause. Thank you everyone for your love and support of Autism Awareness!"

Tutoring and Test Prep Now Enrolling
ACT and PSAT/SAT classes will be starting soon. Private tutoring is available for students in grades K-12 in all subjects. Tutoring 101 recommends once a week tutoring for an hour to increase grades and learn subject matter more deeply. A once a week appointment usually results in an increase of 1 letter grade or more. Turn those C's into B's.
What's your SAT/ACT score? Want a better one? What do you need it to be?
Invest in a PSAT/SAT/ACT Prep program not just a class. We've helped high scorers get TOP scores, average students raise their scores, and poor test takers achieve the scores that colleges want.
Our students have earned admissions and scholarships, and have saved thousands of tuition dollars every year.
