LEOPARD SPOTLIGHT AWARD
The winner of the 12.2.22 Leopard Spotlight Award is the team of Julie Puckett, Karin Wortham, and Shannon Droupy. Members of the team do a great job at running the school store, creating purchase orders, managing budget items, and they all contribute to the school running smoothly. We appreciate their work ethic, knowledge, and the positive impact they have on Lovejoy High School/Lovejoy ISD. Please join us in congratulating them!
Senior Projects
We have seen a steady flow of senior projects being posted to Google Classroom. Please continue to encourage your 12th grader to "chip away" at their project, as this is a graduation requirement and must be completed by all seniors.
Also, please be sure to access our Senior Project quick link (here) on the school webpage. We have posted some additional resources, including a list of frequently asked questions (Senior Project Q&A), and a copy of the presentation provided to our senior class on November 2nd.
Although we are early in the process of evaluating submissions, we are encouraged and impressed by the presentations we have initially reviewed.
Students/Parents,
During finals week, buses will be arriving at Lovejoy High School at approximately 12:35 pm and will depart promptly at 12:40 pm.
This will allow bus riders an opportunity to purchase lunch in the afternoon. Students who do not wish to eat, may still wait in the commons area until buses arrive at 12:35 pm.
