Message from the Principal
Lacey Moser
Hart Family and Friends,
I am so excited about tonight's camp out. The building is buzzing with parents and preparation for the activities we have planned. We are looking forward to creating a fun, and festive event here at Hart. If you are not already here volunteering (and many of you are), we will see you soon!
Next week is our Beach Bash / week of Spring Fling Socials. That committee is working diligently to make those events fun as well. Please see the information below on the dates of those grade level events. If you haven't already purchased a ticket, feel free to do so up until the day before your event is scheduled. Tickets are being sold in the office here at Hart. If you would like to volunteer for those events, and participate in them with your child, please click here to sign up to volunteer.
I want to thank everyone who has been involved in making these things so special for the kids here. There's been so much thought and effort put into it. I can't help but think these are all good memories in the making!
With a Full HeART,
Lacey Moser

Counselor's Corner
As part of Lovejoy's commitment to keep all children at our school safe and protected, students participate in the
WHO (We Help Ourselves)
program during the next two guidance lessons.
WHO is a research-based educational curriculum that was developed as a way to teach students personal safety skills that will enable them to take an active and necessary role in protecting themselves from becoming victims of abuse. The message of the WHO program is:
Know- Recognize potentially dangerous situations, learn and practice personal safety rules to help avoid risk
Do- Have a plan of action; think ahead about what to do in a scary, dangerous or uncomfortable situation
Tell- Ask someone you trust for help; it's important to tell someone about situations that are uncomfortable
Students are taught to identify and outsmart the tricks that are consistently used in predatory crimes. Children learn essential personal safety skills to improve self-reliance and raise self-esteem; all while being consistently reassured that most people are kind, safe, and committed to their well-being. Students also learn that they deserve to feel safe, protected, and happy. We use the term tricky people to describe people who trick kids. It does not matter how well you know them, how old they are, or what they look like, the only thing that matters is what they ask you to do
. If they ask you to do something unsafe or uncomfortable, they should follow
three simple rules . . .
* Say No
* Get Away
* Tell a trusted adult
Please feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

Message from the Nurse:
We are currently seeing a very contagious stomach virus (some not having fever, seems to last about 12-24 hrs),
strep throat and allergy symptoms. There is also a virus that is lasting approx. 2-3 days-predominate symptoms seem to be fever, nausea/vomiting, and slight to moderate sore throat. We have not seen any
diagnoses of flu recently but this virus is flu-like.
We ask that children be free from fever
without medicine, diarrhea, or vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school to prevent illnesses from spreading. Fever is considered 100.0 or greater.
If your child is absent from school, written documentation is needed. Please email [email protected] and [email protected] with the date and reason for the absence. Thanks for all you do at home to keep your children healthy and in school.
Please refer to the Lovejoy ISD web site under Hart Campuses / Departments / Clinic for more info. about the flu.

New! Lovejoy Parent Authors Book
Susan Hoemke, a Lovejoy parent, has authored a book titled,
Healing Scarred Hearts which will be released on May 8th. Following is information shared by Susan:
"After we lost our son Hayden in 2014 to drug overdose and our family was impacted the 8 years as he struggled with addiction and personality disorder, I began to feel the need to educate other families about what all we learned. I have been working with Kathy Stone to build a better drug awareness program. In 2016, when the Opioid crisis made the news, I decided to write a book and in 2017 Brown Books Publishing accepted my manuscript and this began the process to bring our story to the frontline.
Healing Scarred Hearts will be released May 8th with hopes to bring education and healing to the complicated issue of substance abuse, addiction and overdose. My book also shares the crisis of legal issues that many times are associated with kids and substance abuse."
