Dear Lovejoy Families,
Our year is quickly winding down. The month of May has definitely flown by for the Craft family. I hope that you will be able to join us this week for our End of Year Celebrations. Each grade is doing something a little differently, but it will be a great opportunity to recognize our students and have some fun celebrating this year. Please read the information below carefully because it has a lot of important information about our pick up procedures and end of year events.
We have two big events coming up on Friday! First, we will have our Virtual Field Day with fun and games for all students. Most of the items that you need which are listed below, are items that you can find around the house, and the games are fun for all ages! Please make sure to join us on
Friday, May 22nd from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm for a night of fun, student showcases, surprise guests and much, much, more for our
One Night Under the Stars Virtual Campout. Watch for information to be shared all this week via social media and make sure you don't miss out on this campout fun!
As always, please feel free to email me or call me with any questions or concerns.
All My Best,
Wendy Craft
214-551-4503 (cell)
469-742-8077 (office)
My mission is to be a servant leader who works with students, parents, and staff to build a community that fosters relationships and learning where everyone THRIVES. Each day, I strive to make the choice to be great versus comfortable, because you can't be both!

Noetic Math Competition winners for Lovejoy Elementary
The Noetic Math competition is a bi-Annual World Wide competition featuring roughly 6,000 competitors from each grade level. The competition tests the students problem solving strategies, quick decision making, analyzing and math skills. Our 3rd and 4th graders this year during this unique situation competed for the first time online and at home! We are super proud of everyone who participated this year! The 4th grade Team Winner for LES was Marshall Weaver, and the 3rd grade our Team Winner for LES was Adrian Ngai!
Congratulations to both of these individual winners and to all our participants!
We are Lovejoy Proud!
