Dear Lutz Preparatory Families,

Our Bolts of Blue Campaign is going strong as we enter our last two and a half weeks of the campaign.  We are thrilled to report that our community of supporters has donated $73,600 as of yesterday afternoon!  We are determined to meet and hopefully even exceed our fundraising goal of $125,000.  Please consider making a contribution and pass our campaign information on to as many people/businesses as you can and help us get the rest of the way there. 

The Bolts of Blue Campaign is a partnership between the PTA and school Administration to have one fundraising event to support the needs of our children, school, and PTA.  The campaign includes an online silent auction in conjunction with the Lock-In and Parents Night Out events.  Families can look forward to bidding in the silent auction for items such as parking spots, carline spaces, VPK graduation seats, our coveted teacher items/experiences, etc.  

As our school community continues to grow and change, we will continue to look for new ways to support our teachers and school, in every effort to help our students be the most successful.

Specifically your generous donation will benefit your child/children as follows: 

  • Lutz Prep PTA Programs and Free Events including, but not limited to, Junior Achievement, mini-grants for teachers, new technology for students, Grandparents Breakfast, SMATH Night, Field Day, and much more.
  • Lutz Prep PTA Sponsored Events including Father-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son Event, and Winter Fest.
  • “Leader In Me” Training for Faculty and Staff.  This training, which is based on the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, instills a process whereby faculty and staff can effectively teach and model these habits to students.  This training will assist students in not only becoming academically successful, but strong in character using skills that are ageless and timeless and will lead them to success in all they do.  We invite you to visit http://www.theleaderinme.org/ for more information on this exciting program.
  • School Sponsored End of the Year Events including VPK graduation, Kindergarten celebration, 5th grade celebration, and 8th grade graduation.
  • In the event that we are fortunate enough to raise more money than anticipated the additional funds will go to help make improvements to our school inside and out as well as help with operational expenses.
The fundraising goal for this campaign is $125,000.  We encourage all families to participate in this campaign and to consider at least a $225 donation.  However, please see the sponsorship opportunities linked above as there are also other levels with additional incentives.  The goal for each homeroom is $1,800 and the minimum donation to be considered and applied for the homeroom participation is $50.  All homerooms who reach their goal will receive prizes.  There are two options for donations to the campaign, please see the details for families or business sponsorship below.  

We appreciate the opportunity to work with your child/children and thank you for all your support as we continue the journey of lifelong learning.

With Thanks,

Bonnie Guertin
Director of Schools, Lutz Preparatory K-8

Friends and Family Sample Letter for Donations
We have had a few parents ask for a sample letter to help their child(ren) spread the word to friends and family regarding the campaign.  Click HERE for a sample letter.

Many of our parents' employers will match dollar-for-dollar donations to non-profit organizations like Lutz Prep.  Check with your HR department to see if they offer this benefit.  We also encourage our families to reach out to local businesses in your community for sponsorships in addition to potential employer matching benefits.
