Dear Parents,
Happy Thursday! We have had a great week of learning and our students have been working hard to grow as learners. The safety of our students is always a top priority for us. One area where we are "tightening the ropes" is visitors wandering the hall and visiting the classroom during instructional time. Therefore, all visitors will need to have a specific purpose to leave the office such as making copies, scheduled teacher conference, Art Sparks volunteer, etc. If you need to deliver something to the classroom like a lunch box or notebook, then the office staff will make this delivery for you. This is to help us protect the integrity of instructional time with our students. If you have any further questions regarding this, please feel free to contact me.
I personally want to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve this amazing community.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
All My Best,
Wendy Craft

4th Grade Recorders
4th grade music students at Lovejoy will learn to play the recorder. In order to ensure that each student gets a quality instrument and to provide a level of convenience to our busy families, we will be collecting $3.00 per student and ordering the instruments from our music supplier. You can pay cash or check to Lovejoy Elementary.
If you already own a recorder, it is not necessary to purchase one through the school
. However, I would like to caution you against purchasing an instrument from a discount retailer. These instruments are generally of inferior quality and play out of tune. If cost is a concern, please contact Mrs. Hebert
[email protected]
and we will work with you to get a quality instrument for your child.
