Dear Lovejoy Families,
The last two weeks have been filled with fine arts and athletic events. It makes my heart smile to see our students engaged in the incredible extracurricular opportunities available in Lovejoy ISD. The lessons our fine arts directors and athletic coaches teach our students will stay with them for life. Long after the sport or activity is over, our students carry the profound positive impact of excellent directors and coaches.
I received an email this week from a cross country (XC) parent which captures this sentiment perfectly and they were kind enough to let me share their words with you.
“The awesome ‘sweep’ of all 4 district titles - team and individuals - Varsity and JV - boys and girls - is because of these amazing coaches and the values they instill with all the runners. Dedication, perseverance, teamwork, hard work put in all year, mental toughness, and the good values/morals that all the XC team members have is not just “luck” - it is because of the dedication that our amazing coaching staff has - going early in the mornings with the middle schoolers, staying late after school with the high schoolers, having meets most weekends... They are amazing coaches and truly care so much about all the members of the XC team. Please know how lucky we all are to have them for our program and how much we appreciate all that they do!!”
Our extracurricular programs are a crucial part of the Lovejoy ISD Graduate Profile. Participation in athletics and fine arts promotes well-rounded students who are engaged in a healthy lifestyle. Our full graduate profile may be found here.
To all our Lovejoy directors and coaches, a heartfelt thank you. You make significant personal sacrifices to show up and support our students in performing at high levels and, even more importantly, growing personal success skills.
To all of our Lovejoy fine arts and athletic students, we are #LovejoyProud of you and your extraordinary talents.
