Thank You, Lovett Time truly does fly when you are having fun! It’s hard to believe that the school year and our duties are over. Since we started last spring, we have been constantly amazed at the energy and generosity of the parents here. We are grateful for the time and enthusiasm that you have shown to LPA endeavors throughout the year and especially for the honor and privilege of serving our wonderful school. We wish you all a safe and restful summer with friends and family. Evelyn Achecar and Beth Ward | LPA Co-Presidents 2011–12

Middle School Spring Break There is a trip planned for Spring Break 2013 to the French Island of Martinique open to all students in Grades 7–8.
Looking Ahead to 2012–13! We hope that you have found time to relax and are enjoying the start of summer! The first day of school will be here before we know it, however, and the various parent organizations are already busy planning next year’s activities. The Lovett Parent Association (LPA), Friends of the Arts (FOTA), LionBackers, Parent Support Group (PSG), and the Lovett International Alliance (LIA) will each need volunteers to serve on their many committees. Please take some time to think about next year and ways in which you would like to help. There is definitely a job for everyone who is willing to share his or her time and talents! In a continuing effort to support Lovett’s commitment to the environment, the volunteer forms will be online only again this year. After you have visited the Lovett website and completed your form, the appropriate committee chairs will contact you in the fall. All of the parent organizations appreciate your participation and are looking forward to serving with you during the 2012–13 school year! Patty Layson and Beth Mayfield | LPA Co-Presidents 2012–13
While in Martinique, students will stay in a vacation resort located in St. Luce in the southern part of the island. They will take part in numerous activities and will also have the opportunity to practice their French on a daily basis as they discover some of the sites they studied in class. Please let us know if you are interested in enrolling your child on this trip. The cost would be $2,180 with transportation, hotels, and meals included. Payment plans are included. If you’re interested in applying for financial aid for this trip, please contact Angela MorrisLong at amorrislong@lovett.org. Otherwise, contact Sarah Meurisse at smeurisse@lovett.org or Marc Mallet at mmallet@lovett.org with questions.
