The entire school is invited to come watch!  We welcome all Veteran's to attend!
 
We are creating slideshows to accompany the songs. All LP families are invited to send photos of their veterans or active military members.

Please send photo(s) and detailed information by Friday, October 27, 2017
  1. Must be JPEG or PNG form to be accepted
  2. Family name clearly labeled 
  3. Branch of the military photo represents
  4. Email to Ms. Schoenfeld at jessica.schoenfeld@lutzprep.org
  5. Even if you submitted photos last year, you need to re-submit them again to have them included
Second grade students performing should wear all navy blue LP uniform tops, bottoms, or dresses. Each class will be singing the song of one of the five branches of the military.

Donations Needed for Art Classes
Annual DooDad Competition:  
The art department is looking for donations of old maps or old atlas books for a middle school art project.  Please do not purchase anything, just looking for items you no longer use or want.  They need enough for 1st & 2nd semester classes.

Reporting Absences:
If your student will be absent for any reason, the preferred method of notification is to send an email to attendance@lutzprep.org (you may also cc your student's teacher).  If needed, you may contact the attendance line at 428-7101 instead of sending an email - you do not need to do both methods.
