Dear Lovett Families,

Weâ€™re continuing to make progress on the Lovett Rocks with Gratitude campaign. As of Monday, we reached 53% of our financial goal of $40,000 with 19% participation. Weâ€™d love to see that participation percentage match the financial percentage. Remember, every dollar helps! No gift is too small!

I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Aiesha Moore and LaQuita Buffone for hosting ALL 6 of our Gratitude Rock Decorating Parties over the last several weeks. The kids had a blast getting crafty and reflecting on what they are grateful for about Lovett! I believe there are still rocks and paint pens available, so touch base with LaQuita Buffone at laquita75@gmail.com to arrange a porch pickup at her home.

A major safety issue has been addressed on campus thanks to the generosity of the DeLaRosa Family and YP Landscaping. The erosion of the gravel along the north side of the building outside the administrative offices had washed away, creating a safety hazard, potentially contributing to structural issues and was an eye sore. Check out the before and after photos below. Thank you YP Landscaping!

Lovett Rocks with Gratitude Campaign

Our Lovett Rocks with Gratitude Campaign for the 2020-2021 school year is now underway. This is our annual fundraiser to help supplement the school's annual budget and provide additional resources to our teachers and school. The funds raised will be used to help make virtual learning more effective, support efforts to make face-to-face learning safer, and enhance our campus with various capital improvements. No gift is too small and we hope to have 100% family participation.

Please watch this quick video about our new fall fundraiser: https://youtu.be/dX1JZMalgg8
