Meet the Leopards Night - February 7th

Give Sight Globally

Lovejoy's COOL Club (Charity Out of Love) is hosting a donation drive this month, and we'd love to have your help. We are partnering with VSPglobal's Eyes of Hope® program and collecting used eyeglasses to provide the gift of sight to those in need. Over 2 billion people globally need glasses but are unable to access them. Allowing children to succeed in school or adults to care for their families, seeing clearly provides endless opportunities. We are simply asking you to donate any used pairs of glasses instead of throwing them away so that someone else can be given the same privilege of seeing that you had.

The collection box will be located in the commons throughout the month of January - Just look for the gold box with a dog on it and drop the glasses in!

We will have refreshments for you to enjoy while you relax and listen. Don't get too comfortable though, as there will be an open dance floor for students and parents alike.

If you want to be extra prepared, check out these videos on some basic swing moves.
