Dear Lovejoy Families,
I hope that everyone enjoyed their long weekend. This week, we came back strong, and we are looking forward to our second graders performing tonight. We need your help! If you have a chance, we would really appreciate you donating food to our Cangineering teams. You can see the detailed list below. If we could all chip in 3 or 4 cans or cereal boxes, then we can reach our goal. Thank you in advance for your support.
I look forward to seeing you at Denim and Diamonds on Saturday.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time.

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!

Upcoming Events
The elementary campouts are an opportunity for parents, students, teachers, and staff to come together with the community for a night of fun, fellowship, and service. Each elementary campus hosts its own event that provides a night of activities for the whole family and culminates with an overnight campout under the stars. In addition to building community, this event also serves as a primary fundraiser for each campus. Funds raised during the campout event ensure LISD can continue to provide our students with premier educational programs. This event truly is a great example of One Heart. One Lovejoy.
