A message from Mrs. Scoville, Hart Elementary Counselor...
We live in such a digital and technological world that simple manners have taken a back seat. Saying "Good Morning" or sharing a smile can change the entire course of a persons day. We encourage you to review and practice these simple manners.

CURRENT ILLNESS
We are currently seeing a lot of allergy related illnesses, some strep, and another virus that seems to be causing predominately stomach ache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help keep protect others.
MISSING IMMUNIZATIONS
There are a handful of our students that are still missing appropriate documentation of immunizations per Texas State Regulations. Please get these to the school nurse, Allison Wright, ASAP so that your child can continue attending school. If required immunization documentation is not received (or process of series has not started if full series is required) we may have to delay school attendance until we have appropriate documentation. Please call me (Nurse Alli) with any questions, 469-742-8156. Thank You!
Thank you for your cooperation!

"Hi! My name is Zachary Taylor and I am a senior at Lovejoy High School. My senior project is on the topic of Autism. There are 2 events I would like to bring to your attention.
The first event is Leopard Friday on September 28th. I will have a table in the Lovejoy High School courtyard with information on Autism as well as selling the Autism Awareness ribbon for $1 each. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Autism Speaks. Their mission: "Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions." More information can be found on their website.
The second event is the Autism Walk I will be participating in on Saturday, September 29th in Richardson. My goal is to raise $500 for the walk. Please consider donating to this great cause by clicking here. Please search for my name under the "Search for a participant" tab to ensure your donation is counted toward my goal of $500. If you would like to participate in this walk, you are welcome to join my team (Team Draeven) or create your own team.
Autism is on the rise. Together we can help work toward a great cause. Thank you for your time and donations."
