Congratulations, Maila Bowling! Malia stepped in and ran the 4x400 prelims, and she did a great job! Malia is one of the greatest teammates out there. She is hard-working, selfless, and genuinely loves her team. She was so excited about this opportunity, and we are proud of her for stepping up!
The 4x400 Relay is the "Grand Finale" of the Track and Field meet and the girls awed the crowd with their grit and determination. From Chloe starting us off and getting us in a solid position to Bella and Amy running their BEST splits to date and holding us exactly where we needed to be and then Kailey bringing it home and passing 2 teams to clinch the 2nd place spot... their teamwork and unity was amazing! They also set a new school record of 3:55.54! We are excited to see great things to come from this team!

This is a courtesy message from Lovejoy Student Nutrition Services to inform households of an upcoming change in student meal accounts.
In an effort to help minimize negative balances at the end of the school year, starting Monday, May 10th, and for the remainder of the school year students will no longer be able to charge meals that will result in the student incurring a negative balance to their meal account. Students may continue to use their lunch accounts as long as they have money in the account. Households with students who currently have negative balances will receive reminder emails and phone calls. Federal regulations prohibit us from rolling over negative balances to the next school year. Please make arrangements to remit payment for any negative lunch accounts your child may have incurred.
All positive balances will be rolled over to the next school year and will follow your student to their enrolled campus. If you have a graduating senior, funds may be transferred to any sibling in the school district. To request a meal account refund please complete a refund request form located on our Student Nutrition website. For assistance please contact us at 469-742-8041.
Student Nutrition Services thanks you for your understanding and for allowing us to serve your student(s) this school year.
