P
arents and Guardians,
This Wednesday, students will have the opportunity to visit with representatives from over 160 colleges and universities at our annual Fall College Fair. The event will take place during the school day, and all students will have a pre-determined time to visit with the college representatives that are present. We encourage them to ask representatives about their school, majors, and other information our students are interested in. Our College and Career Counselors organize this event as part of the college education experience for LHS students of all grades. Wednesday's event will be one of many opportunities for students to connect with college representatives throughout the year. You and your student can stay up-to-date with college representative schedules as well as other college information through your student's Naviance account.
As a reminder, we will host our annual Open House Night next Monday, September 17th from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. During that time, you will have the opportunity to follow your child's daily schedule and meet their teachers. More information about next Monday is below including how to access your child's schedule through PowerSchool, Open House room assignments for Athletics, and much more.
Please take a few minutes and review the important information below about upcoming events.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

Lovejoy Senior Requests Assistance with Senior Project
A message from Lovejoy Senior, Alexandra Brungardt:
"As an incoming senior, I have selected a project that is close to my heart. There is a "Toy Closet" at the Cancer Hospital from which patients can choose an item to help during their stay. I want to stock the Closet with as many toys as possible. In order to purchase toys for the closet, donation bins will be placed at each of the schools and the red building. These bins will be collecting gently used Lovejoy Spirit Wear. Once collected, the spirit wear will be sold and the money used to buy Toys for the Closet.
The toys will be donated in memory of Walker Jack Rainey.
I can be reached at
[email protected]
with any comments or questions. Thank you for your generosity."
