Friends of the Arts
Friends of the Arts support the fine arts by fostering an awareness of the arts as a form of self-expression and providing opportunities for students to learn of the many ways the arts can serve as a profession. In addition, Friends of the Arts support the faculty and staff of the fine arts department, recognize student and faculty achievements, develop sources of funds for supplementing the arts, and promote a cohesive fine arts community within The Lovett School. The leadership of Friends of the Arts is slated through a self-nomination process in May and serve for a one-year term. Annual membership donations range from $75 to $250.

LionBackers
The LionBackers financially assist all areas of athletics and physical education through membership dues and the annual golf and tennis tournaments. It is the intent of the LionBackers to provide funds for athletic needs not typically covered by the school budget. In addition to helping fund the specific needs of the various athletic programs, the LionBackers are an integral part of the ongoing goal to increase spirit within the school community. Throughout the year the LionBackers host various events that help promote attendance and/or demonstrate support for the 23 varsity teams. The organization keeps its members informed through a weekly e-mail newsletter that lists upcoming sporting events and reports results and highlights of previous contests. The LionBackers welcome participation from the school community through its spirit committees, which provide assistance for special activities throughout the year. Leadership of the organization consists of four co-officers: president, vice-president, secretary/treasurer, and sports chairman. Annual membership donations range from $85 to $250. LionBacker Athletic Forums, which serve as general meetings for all interested parents, are held in August, November, February, and April.

The LPA generates funds that provide enhancements beyond the school budgets and provides volunteer services to enrich the overall life of the school community. Leadership of the LPA is slated by committee from a pool of parents who express interest through a self-nominating process in January of each year. Annual dues are $35. General meetings are held in September and in February.

Parent Annual Fund Committee
Working with all members of the school community, this committee works to ensure broad-based support for Lovett's most important fund-raising effort, the Annual Fund, which provides the "extras" that make our school extraordinary. Volunteer activities include personal contacts, phonathons, and mailings. For more information, email Phillip McEuen at pmceuen@lovett.org.

Parent Support Groups
Parent Support Groups are initiated by parents in Grades 5-12 seeking to build relationships with other parents. Parents meet through informal gatherings--often over a casual box lunch--three times a year, and all parents in each grade level are notified and invited to attend. The gatherings serve as outlets for open communication among parents; identify grade-appropriate parenting issues; provide education and information that assist parents in making informed decisions; and provide guest speakers on pertinent topics. Parent Support Groups operate independently of the school. Donations of $25 per family are appreciated to cover expenses.

Room Parents/Prime Time Parents
Parents from each Lower and Middle School classroom are selected in the Lower School to serve as Room Parents and in the Middle School to serve as Prime Time Parents. Parents may volunteer for these positions in the spring of the preceding year. The parents arrange for class parties, provide field trip drivers, and assist with special activities and projects. They also serve as an important line of communication between the home and the school. Room Parents ask for a $15 donation at the beginning of the school year to cover expenses.
