Pop Show 2010: LEGACY
The award-winning Lovejoy Choirs will perform songs from a vast array of
artists who left a musical legacy, including The Beatles, Aretha Franklin,
Journey, Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, and many more. From
an entirely a cappella version of Bohemian Rhapsody to the crowd-pleasing
Sweet Caroline, the Legacy Pop Show promises to be a night of incredible
entertainment. The two hour show (including intermission) will feature all
of the choirs, ensembles, and over 60 soloists. Do not miss the one and
only performance on Friday night, May 21 at 7:00 pm in the LHS Auditorium.
Tickets are only $3 and may be purchased in the Lovejoy School store or at
the door.
On-line Registration Is Open for the Lovejoy Country Run

The Lovejoy Country Run 5K race and 1K fun run is set for May 15. On-line
registration is now open at www.LukesLocker.com and at
www.thelovejoycountryrun.com. This is the fourth year for the event, and the
number of runners will reach over 1,000 this year. Proceeds are split between
the 13 athletic booster clubs at LHS. Young runners have a great time running
the 1K fun run on the school track and running through the inflatable leopard
head used at varsity football games. All ages compete for trophies and medals
on the certified 5K race course which runs up Rock Ridge Road. As always, the
pancake breakfast, bounce houses, face painting, and live band "Beat Red"
make for a festive morning. Don't miss the fun. Check out our website and
photos at www.TheLovejoyCountryRun.org.
High School Principal Selection
We are spending a good deal of time in searching for the right candidate to
become the second principal of Lovejoy High School. We are currently reviewing
applications and conducting screening interviews. Total applications are
approaching 150 and we have paper screened all of them to date and conducted
3 screening interviews. I very much appreciate the time that many of you gave to
offer input on the profile of the new principal. If you would like to offer input and
have not yet had an opportunity to attend a meeting, please know you are
welcomed to either call or email me with your thoughts.
As always, I am very proud to serve this community as superintendent. Last
Saturday night, I had the pleasure to celebrate the Lovejoy ISD with the
Foundation’s annual gala. It was fun and due to your generosity, the Foundation
will be able to make a significant contribution to the education of your children. I
am sure they will be announcing the total amount earned within the next 30 days.
If you have specific questions that can be answered by the school district, please
email me at ted_moore@lovejoyisd.net or give me a call on my cell at 972-415-
8129.
With Respect,
Ted Moore
Superintendent
