🚗📘 Real-World Reading in Action!
English II students took on an authentic literacy experience by analyzing the Texas Driver’s Handbook to explore text structure. From headings and charts to graphs and organizational patterns, students learned how informational texts are designed to support understanding — while connecting their skills to something they’ll use in real life as future drivers.
Through active discussion and collaboration, students sharpened critical reading strategies that build confidence both in the classroom and beyond!
🎁 Lovejoy Orchestras Share the Joy of Giving!
Led by LHS Orchestra Ambassadors, students and families from SCIS, WSMS, and LHS came together to collect toys, household essentials, and holiday treats for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas during the Joy of Giving Gift Drive.
This incredible organization provides a home-away-from-home for families with children receiving medical treatment at local hospitals, offering housing, meals, and support during some of their most challenging moments.
