Parents,
Cookie Dough pick up is quickly approaching! ALL COOKIE DOUGH MUST BE PICKED UP ON November 4th!! We will send out an email as soon as it is ready to be picked up in case you would like to get it before school dismissal.
We are looking forward to some cooler weather heading our way since every class is busy working on Holiday music for our next performance at the Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, December 3rd. The orchestra concert will start with the SCIS Beginner Orchestra, then the WIllow Springs Orchestras and finish with the High School Groups. The concert will begin at noon, we will let you know when musicians need to arrive in a few weeks!
Our next spirit night is coming up on Tuesday, November 8th at Raising Cane's on Stacy Road. Mention Lovejoy orchestra at checkout and the booster club will receive a portion of the sale!
Have a great weekend!

Main Event - November 17th
We are very excited about our upcoming Main Event Music Department Social. Thank you to all of you that have signed up! We are looking for 3-4 parent chaperones to help out on this fun evening. We will need help with our check-in and check-out table and general supervision of the students. Chaperones will get in free and get the same awesome deal that the kids get! Please make sure you are cleared with the district to volunteer. Please email Mrs. Gearhart at Amy_Gearhart@lovejoyisd.net if you are able to help! We appreciate your help so much!
