UPCOMING EVENTS
Halloween Fun!
Lovington Municipal Schools will allow students to wear Halloween Costumes on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 under the following guidelines:
- No props, masks or weapons
- Secondary students must adhere to dress code
- LMSD is not responsible for damage to costumes.
Early Release for Students
Lovington students will be released at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. LMSD Staff will be attending the Lea County In-service in Hobbs that afternoon.
Lovington Schools will be partnering with Lovington Mainstreet and the Lea Theatre to collect pennies for the new penny floor at Lea Theatre. This is an awesome opportunity for our students to be a special part of updating a Lovington building.
Each penny is worth 1 point.
Bills will be converted to pennies and points will be awarded based on the value of the bill. ($20 = 2000 points) Coins other than pennies will be worth negative points based on the value of the coin (Dimes = - 10 points )
Please do not send bills larger than $20.
Each student in the winning grade will receive an ice cream cone from Cornerstone Creamery.
Daylight Savings Time
Daylight saving time ends Nov. 5 at 2 a.m. We will "fall back," turning our clocks back to 1 a.m., gaining an extra hour of sleep.
