🚗📘 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!
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.
Pictured are Ambassador Captains Audrey Casey and Lucy Crites with the generous donations gathered by our community. We are so proud of our orchestra students and families for showing true compassion and leadership this holiday season. 💫
Our stakeholder-based Bond Implementation Committee kicked off its first meeting! The group engaged in thoughtful, collaborative discussion as we prepared for the implementation of our 2025 bond funds. We are excited to begin this important work that will positively impact every student and every campus across Lovejoy ISD.
A huge thank you to our committee members and to our Board of Trustees. Together, we’re building the future for our students!
Our teams had an incredible weekend competing at two tournaments — the Speedway Signature Event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Garland Tournament locally — showing off their hard work, teamwork, and determination!
🏁 Speedway (Indianapolis):
Teams 1082E, J, M & W faced tough competition on a national stage. 1082M & 1082E advanced together to the Quarterfinals, while 1082J teamed up with 2140D Pepto Bismol (Michigan) and narrowly missed advancing after an intense match decided by only 2 points against the tournament finalists. Incredible performances all around!
🏆 Garland Tournament:
Teams 1082N, T, U & V competed locally with great success:
1082U earned the Judges Award
1082N advanced to the Semifinals
1082V & 1082T reached the elimination rounds
A huge thank you to our parent volunteers who traveled and supported our teams — especially those who made the Speedway trip possible — and to Coach Gaddie for leading the Garland teams in her first away tournament solo, with amazing support from local parent volunteers. We truly can’t do this without our incredible Lovejoy Robotics family!
Next up: Southlake this weekend, then Burkburnett next weekend. Let’s go Leopards! 🐆💚
