Lovett Clubs that are offered before or after school for student enrichment include:

Lovett Owl Ringers
The handbell program at Lovett is an after school extension of our vocal music program. Handbells provide enriching musical experiences as part of a handbell choir, as well as enhancing other vocal music endeavors. Beginning handbell students will join the Prep Ringers, and advanced handbell students will join the Owl Ringers. At the end of the first semester, students will be re-evaluated and may change handbell choirs. There will be approximately 13 active ringers in each choir.

Students will be chosen for one of the handbell choirs in the following manner. They must be able to:

• attend classes after school, regularly
• Owl Ringers: Wednesday, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
• Prep Ringers: Monday, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
• maintain focus and direction during handbell classes
• display good conduct in music and academic classes

While participating in the handbell choirs, students will

• increase their ability to concentrate,
• develop fine motor and hand-eye coordination,
• display finished products for peers,
• improve ability to work and solve problems within a group,
• lengthen attention spans, and
• develop confidence and self-discipline

Lovett Chorus
Students in 3rd —5th grades are invited to audition for the Lovett Chorus, during the 1st week of school.  Rehearsals are on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  The Chorus performs for school programs, including the Holiday Program and the Spring Musical, as well as performances outside the school. Chorus members will continue to develop proper singing skills, such as posture, breath control, singing voices, and sight reading. They will also learn to sing in large and small ensembles, and other aspects of choral performance.

Student Council

The Lovett Elementary Student Council offers students from grades 2-5 the opportunity to actively participate in school-wide initiatives, lend their hands to community causes, and see democracy in action.  While representing Lovett, these student leaders will gain responsibility, increase pride in their school, and gain an overall awareness of needs at a local level and develop ways to help.  Representatives along with school officers will be held to high academic and citizenship levels.  Elections for student council are held at the beginning of each school year.  Fifth graders have the opportunity to run for an officer’s position.  The council meets the third Wednesday of each month in the Fit Pit from 3:00-3:45.  The faculty advisors for the Student Council are:  Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Nathan, Mrs. Louis, Mrs. Thomas, and Mrs. Grant.

Lovett Newspaper Club
Do you ever wonder how the Lovett newspaper, The News Flash, is put together?  It comes together by the hard work of the fourth and fifth grade students who belong to the Newspaper Club and its sponsor, Dr. Marilyn Horne.  The News Flash staff puts their heads together to think of different ideas for articles.  After some research, the staff writes the articles they think Lovett Students would enjoy reading.  Fourth and Fifth graders are eligible for the Newspaper Club.  It meets each Tuesday after school from 3:15 to 5:00 in the computer lab. Students who participate must be able to attend regularly and have their teacher recommend them.  If you enjoy reading and writing, then the Newspaper Club is for you!

Any student in grades 3-5 may join the Red Cross Youth Services Club.  Red Cross Youth Services Club is a service organization/club whose primary focus is to enable youth to develop and utilize their incividual talents through community service and educational programs. The volunteer activities develop leadership skills and set them on a road to lifetime humanitarian service. Meetings are held when needed.
