    LOVEJOY FINE ARTS FESTIVAL
    The first Lovejoy Fine Arts Festival will start at noon on Saturday Dec. 12 at Lovejoy High School. Admission is free. The festival will showcase the artistic talents of Lovejoy ISD students in the fine arts departments.  Set aside some time on your busy calendars to attend.  Come and go as you please. Three stages will host various performances by Lovejoy fine arts students in grades 5-12.  Just a sampling of performers are: elementary schools' honor choirs, middle school pop choir,  LHS choir, LHS jazz band, The Majestics Dance Team, studio dance classes, orchestra, theater, guitar club performers, ensembles, and student bands. Community art booths, art student booths, and holiday food vendors will also be involved. Plus kids' art stations and a photo opportunity  with the big guy in the red suit.  Your eyes, ears, and taste buds are in for a treat!
    The festival will last from noon to 6 p.m.. But the climatic LHS choir performance will close out the evening after 6 p.m. on the main auditorium stage.
    We encourage you to bring at least two canned goods for Allen Community Outreach. Another community event, held at the same time, is the art department's Empty Bowls project.  Persons will be able to buy a bowl, hand-made by an art student in grades K-12. The funds from the project will be given to the Samaritan Inn.
    Lovejoy Fine Arts Festival is planned by a committee representing the five different LHS fine arts booster clubs: band, orchestra, choir, theater, and Majestics.
    SENIOR PROJECT UPDATE
    With consideration of many of the seniors still working to find a mentor, the end of the second six weeks and the excitement surrounding the volleyball and football playoffs,  the due date for the 1st draft of the research paper and YES has been moved to December 4. The seniors will not turn in a second draft but will turn in the final draft of the research paper January 8.
    Please encourage your son or daughter to make sure they have their letter of intent approved, the parent certification and parent consent forms signed and turned in(these were due October 2) the mentor consent forms turned in and their poster turned in (these were due October 23).
    The seniors have directions and steps on the research paper in their notebook and in the Tracker (web based senior project program the students are to be filling out).  The letter of intent and the poster are to be uploaded into Tracker ( directions were included in the last e-mail).
    The seniors have great projects going and I look forward to seeing their completion and final presentation.-Dan Goddard
    E-Waste Recyling Day
    LHS PTSA is sponsoring an E-Waste Recycling Day this Saturday, November 14th from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM in the Lovejoy High School parking lot. Look for the truck west of the stadium.  If it runs on electricity, we take it.  Also included are batteries, fitness equipment, servers and  racks, cables and wires, toners and ink cartridges.  There is a $5  charge for CRT monitors and a $20 fee for TV's.  For a complete list of  recyclable items go to E-Wastecollections.net.

    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!
