Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Mother’s Day weekend. We had five mothers at our home on Sunday evening for dinner. It reminded me of how important our mothers are in our education lives. They get us up and out of bed, they make our breakfast and lunch, they get us to and from school, and they make sure we wear clean clothes and brush our teeth. Perhaps the most important thing they do is believe in us, and support us along the way (not to mention, make sure we have our homework done every night). Every student needs someone to believe in them so that they can be as good as they possibly can be. Thanks to all the moms who, because of what they do, make teachers and principals look good everyday.

Have a great week,

Gavan

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!
