President's Message

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Book fair is here! I’m sure you’ve heard all about it from your kiddos, but make sure to visit https://bit.ly/LovettFall21BookFair to browse the store and purchase your books. When you do, sign in and create an account so that the Lovett Library gets a portion of the proceeds. Everything is online now through November 21!

Thanks to the Lovett Mom’s Club for hosting a happy hour last night! If you missed this one, stay tuned for more community-building events in the months ahead. A big thanks as well to the PTO Community Relations team and Room Parents who have planned a whole host of playdates this month. See the flyer below for all the details.

We’re making one final push on our Lovett Rocks campaign. We’ve raised over $10,000 now, which is huge! Thank you for making it happen. This is our main fall fundraiser, and it’s going to help fund some great playground updates. If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, do it today! You can give online here, or if you prefer, you can donate cash or check at the Lovett front desk.

Have a great week, and let us know if we can be helpful to you!

Thanks!

Our goals are to raise $40,000 and have 100% participation from our families. Every penny helps! Find out more and donate today!
