Elementary Schools

"My kindergartners love reading books that are just right for them. In the Literacy Library, I can choose books for children to read independently and for instruction at their level. The Literacy Library provides "real books", and the children are thrilled to learn to read using these books. The Literacy Library is a wonderful addition to our school.                                             –Shirley Gieseck, Kindergarten Teacher, Lovejoy Elementary

"We have used connecting cubes in the classroom the past few years to help students manipulate, see and count in problem solving. This year The Foundation for Lovejoy Schools purchased enough sets so each student has their own. It's great having enough connecting cube for each of our students."
                                                               –Nicole Mills, 2nd Grade Teacher, Hart Elementary

"Achieve 3000 has been effective in my classroom by helping determine a students reading level. It offers students opportunities to improve their reading and comprehension skills through assignments that are on their level. Achieve 3000 helps the students in my classroom ACHIEVE!"
                               –Amanda Gray, 5th Grade ELA/SS Teacher, Puster Elementary

Sloan Creek Middle School

"My Access! Is a phenomenal tool, especially in the discipline of Language Arts. It is wonderful to have so many tools aligned together to help the students learn pre-writing strategies, add elaboration and detail, and successfully edit a final draft, all while learning to be technologically proficient."
                                                                                           –Josh Allen, 6th Grade ELA Teacher

"In 8th Grade Science at Sloan Creek Middle School, we are really excited about the new laptops that the Foundation for Lovejoy Schools is helping to provide. We are planning to use the laptops both in the classroom as well as in the field with our Vernier probeware. Our students are truly engaged when they are using current technology as they investigate science."
                                                     –Pam Simmons-Brooks, Science Department Leader

Lovejoy High School

"I have a student who “freezes” with the mention of “timed writing.” I have worked with her successfully in tutorials using My Access! This platform allows me to place a prompt before a student and set a timer in the program. This progressive immersion in a timed environment has created self-confidence in the student and while timed writings may always be somewhat stressful,
I feel she has come a long way in removing the emotional barrier to putting down her thoughts when the stakes are high."
                                                                              –Kathryn S. Pabst, English Language Department Head

"The Foundation for Lovejoy School purchased a recording device called the Superscope PSD-340. This rehearsal and recording tool means the Lovejoy choirs can make great sounding CD recordings, create custom practice CDs and duplicate CDs on the spot. Choir members learn so much from being able to immediately hear, critique, and problem-solve our difficult musical passages based on those recordings. The Superscope has enhanced daily instruction for our choirs, and we are so thankful to the Foundation for providing it. Thanks!"

Learning @ Lovejoy

"The theme for our 3rd Annual Learning @ Lovejoy was “Growing Today… Shaping Tomorrow." This summer, our staff took advantage of the opportunity for excellent professional development that was provided over 3 weeks. Funds provided by the Foundation for Lovejoy Schools made it possible for us to contract with nationally recognized speakers and provide an outstanding professional development experience for our staff right here at home. During the 3 weeks of training, Lovejoy staff received over 10,000 hours of professional development."
                                                                                                                      –Ted Moore, Superintendent, Lovejoy ISD
