School-Wide Community Service Project
Collecting Donations from 2/12-3/9

Did you know that every two minutes a child is removed from his or her home due to abuse or neglect?

PROVIDING DIGNITY AND HOPE. When children are removed from abusive or neglectful homes they often have inadequate, dirty or stained clothing, and little else.  They carry their few belongings in a trash bag.  Eckerd Raising Hope serves over 3,000 kids of all ages each year. When a child enters a ROOM OF HOPE they discover a cheerful, store-like room where they can “shop” for clothes, toiletries, shoes, school uniforms, comfort items and more. Plus, each child is given a brand new duffle bag to carry their belongings. This year's Lutz Prep community service project is to support Eckerd Raising Hope by collecting much-needed toiletries, undergarments and duffel bags for its ROOM OF HOPE.  Click HERE for all the details and the donation wish list.

Supporting Students with a Successful Start!
Reminder from February 9th NEWSFLASH:  Beginning Monday, February 26, 2018, items such as backpacks, projects, homework, etc. will not be delivered to the classroom nor will students be called out of class to retrieve them.  Limiting distractions, interruptions, and time out of class can help students stay focused on their learning.

*Lunches may be dropped off in emergency cases but will be delivered to the lunchroom (not classroom) prior to your child’s lunch period. This should be in emergencies only and not be a regular occurrence.
Concerning Cold and Flu Season
As we have communicated several times over the last month.  Parents can assist us in maintaining a healthy environment by keeping children home who show signs of communicable disease and encouraging frequent proper hand washing.  If your child has a fever, he/she cannot return to school until fever-free for 24 hours without the assistance of fever reducing medicines.
