Lovejoy HS News 0508by Gavan Goodrich Dear Parents and Guardians, As you may know, I attended the HEB Excellence in Education Awards in Houston Sunday night. The HEB Grocery Company gives away over $500,000 in grants and teacher awards each year at their annual event. This year was very special, because our very own Beverly Smith was honored as one of the candidates for the secondary school, Life Time Achievement Award. Bev has a great life story that most people do not even know about, and she has been a dedicated educator and leader in the social studies world for years in the state of Texas. The awards program was great, so many teachers were honored and celebrated, and it was even more special when Bev was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. She received a $25,000 cash award, and the district received $25,000 as well. It was a very proud Lovejoy moment. Congratulations Bev!

Lovejoy Events and Activities
Lovejoy High School Athletics Changes for Next School Year The athletic periods are changing at Lovejoy for the 2012-2013 school year. As our programs grow, we are in need of having sufficient practice space for all of our athletic teams. Having evaluated the best ways to allocate space so that each team has what it needs, we have determined that splitting athletics to morning and afternoon sessions would provide for the space requirements needed by each sport. Starting in the fall semester, men’s athletics will practice in the morning, and women’s athletics will practice in the afternoons. In addition, many freshman athletic teams will practice during fourth period within the school day (specific freshman athletic periods will be provided for most men’s and some women’s sports depending on the size of the sub varsity teams). Host an AYA international student! Welcome a student from Germany, China, Brazil, South Korea or another country into your home! · Learn about another culture, its customs and language by hosting an international student for 5 or 10 months. · Build a relationship with an AYA international student who will become like a son or daughter to you. · Promote international understanding. AYA students 15-18 years old attend high school and have their own medical insurance and spending money. Families are asked to provide meals, a place to sleep and study, and a loving home environment for their student. Hosting an international student is an amazing experience! See attached flyer for more details. 2012 Athletic Summer Camp Registration is now open!
