Hello Sloan Creek Families,

It has been a great week and today we started out with the Foundation passing out cookies for North Texas Giving Day.  We are beyond grateful for the support of the Foundation and each family that chooses to give. 

We are looking forward to celebrating our students tomorrow that have earned red tickets for displaying attributes of the graduate profile.  

Lastly, if you are visiting the school, check out the amazing artwork that is being displayed in the cases.  We have some talented artists, for sure. 

Enjoy your weekend,

Courtney Halpin

Our announcement crew chose to wear red, white or blue in honor of Celebrate Freedom Week. 

Our 6th grade students read a part of the Declaration of Independence during Celebrate Freedom Week. 

Students were able to create a custom shoe in art class.  If you are visiting the building, check out the creativity of our art students. 

We are filling up our SCIS All Star display.  We love celebrating our students and sharing the good news with their parents.  

North Texas Giving Day was in full force during morning drop off.  Thank you so much for all who choose to give.

Character Trait - Responsibility

We will be focusing on a Character Trait each 9 weeks during our guidance lessons and our Monday Classroom Conversations.  The first nine weeks we have been focusing on Responsibility, accountability for one’s actions; dependability.  A way to support their learning at home is to have your child make a list of their responsibilities at home and school.  Then have them choose two responsibilities they could do a better job on. Help your child make a plan for improving. We believe that Sloan Creek is a bridge between the dependence on parents and teachers in elementary school and the independence needed in middle school.  Building the student’s responsibility at school and home will help them with their self esteem and confidence.  Thank you for partnering with us! 

Dear Parents and Families,

I’m sending my sincere gratitude for making our Book Fair an outstanding success!

We collected more than $10,000 in sales and thanks to your contributions,we raised over $3,200 for our school, which we’ll use in the library. 

As the librarian, my reward for hosting a Book Fair is watching your kids discover new books. All that joy wouldn’t be possible without volunteers from our school community – you deserve my special thanks. 

I hope to see you and your child at our next Fair. Until then, happy reading!

Gratefully,

Kirsten Cermak

Lovejoy Theatre Presents: All In The Timing

Lovejoy High School Theatre is thrilled to present their production of All in The Timing, by David Ives. The show will be performed on September 30 and October 1, 2022 at 7:00 pm. 

Wit, intellect, satire and just plain fun! This production features nine diverse and interesting one-act comedies. They range from the sentimental to the absurd, but are all equally hysterical. Every scene focuses on the way that people utilize language, and deconstruct the perspectives people have on life and meaning. 

All in the Timing uses inspired language and word play to examine various attempts at relationships and communication with comical results.  It will push your smart buttons, tease your brain, and tickle your heart!

Tickets are $7 for students, seniors and staff, and $10 for adults. Tickets will be on sale beginning September 19 at the online box office at https://tinyurl.com/LHSBoxOffice22-23. 

Join us for an evening of laughter and an experience that breaks all the rules of Theatre. Come join us for All In The Timing at the Lovejoy High School Auditorium at: 2350 Estates Parkway, Lucas, Texas.
