Dear Parents,
We only have 6 wake-ups left until we conclude this school year. We have many exciting events happening in the next 6 days so please be sure to read the calendar carefully. I look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow for our Super Skills Day. It looks like the weather will be perfect for a day of fun in the sun.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

NEW! Summer Reading Challenge
Parents, the Lovejoy ISD Summer Reading Challenge is here! Your students have been challenged to read 1000 minutes during the summer. To track their minutes, the district will be using a new website called Biblionasium.
Students can create their own custom bookshelf full of books that they have read or want to read. It can be found at
www.biblionasium.com. Students will chose "Login Using Destiny" and use their same login as they would use to login to a computer here on campus.

Notes from the Nurse Nash - Medication Pick Up
If your child has medicine at school, please make sure your child has exactly enough medicine to finish the school year. You are responsible for picking up any extra medicine as the school district has a policy against sending medicines home with students. At the end of this school year, any remaining medicines, including inhalers, will be thrown out. The school cannot store these for you during the summer. If you have questions, please contact me at 469.742.8132
