Howdy from Hart,

This has been a very wet week! We have enjoyed the fun of wet mornings during car pool, wet days with only inside recess as well as a few wet afternoon dismissals! Our rain gear has probably gotten more use this week than it has had in a very long time! Thank you for your patience and hopefully next week will bring more sunshine!

Even though it has been raining outside, our building remains full of sun shining faces who love coming to school at Hart! We have also had a great curriculum night for Kinder and First grades and look forward to Fourth and Fifth grade tonight! Next week we will host Second and Third grades on Tuesday, September 14th, so mark your calendars. More information about upcoming events is listed below, so remember to continue scrolling down the page.

Don't forget that Picture Day is tomorrow!!!!!!!

I hope you are able to enjoy a dry weekend and that your outside activities and events don't get rained out!  I have to admit, these last few days have been a nice break from practices with all of the rain. On the other hand, a house full of boys missing their outside practice time can have it's disadvantages. I came home yesterday and found furniture rearranged so that the boys could play football in the house. Nothing was broken (that I could see), but I am still looking for a missing candlestick that was on a table. :)

Have a great weekend!

Kathy :)

Calling All Library Volunteers!

The 2010-2011 school year is off to a great start at Hart Elementary!  The library is up and going, and all classes have visited the library for Library Orientation.  As of this morning, we have already had 3,273 items checked out for this school year -- and it is only our third week of school!  With so much activity in the library, we would love to have as many parent volunteers as possible to help with shelving books, processing new materials, assisting students, making book displays, keeping our technology equipment up and going, etc. 

We will have a Library Volunteer Orientation Tuesday, September 21st at 9:30 in the library, so that we can go over some of the procedures of the library.  We invite you to attend this orientation, and sign up for a time that you would like to volunteer.  If you are unable to make the orientation -- no problem!!  Just send an e-mail to either Jennifer Larriviere or Barby Parrott, and we can get you scheduled.  We understand that everyone's schedules are so very busy.  Because of this, we welcome any and all volunteers!  You can sign up for a weekly time slot, a twice a month time slot, and of course, we always welcome anyone that wants to drop in and help for a little bit when they are able!

Positive Proof System Installed

Hart Elementary has updated our visitor sign-in system.  Positive Proof is the same system we have used in the past to track visitors, students, volunteers, and staff but now the system requires the use of a state-issued ID.  The overall goal of this system is to increase the safety of our schools.  Remember to bring in your driver's license when visiting campus or checking out your student.

Leopard Friday

Leopard Friday is a community event held at the LHS courtyard prior to the varsity football game against Abilene Wylie.  The Lovejoy ISD Council of PTA's is once again honored to host this FREE community event. On Leopard Friday, the Courtyard at Lovejoy High School will be transformed into a showcase of our students, clubs and organizations. There will be something for everyone, regardless of age, and it is FREE.

About This Site

So much can be said in a name. In our case, our name says it all. First and foremost, this web site is a labor of love by a group of parents to celebrate the school district that is the heart of our community.

Lovejoy is a community of students, teachers, staff, parents, grandparents and residents of all ages. This is a web site by and for our community. There are so many good things happening in this community on a daily basis that we had to dedicate a whole web site to showcase them.

We hope this web site will be a source of inspiration, and we invite all of you to share the love that is Lovejoy!
