Leader in Me - Habit of the Month October
Begin With the End in Mind
Each month our school will have one "habit of the month" that will be highlighted across all our grades. October's habit is Begin With the End in Mind: I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.
Weekly Activity to Support Habit:Begin with the End in Mind: What is your goal? How can you prioritize the steps to get there?
The deadline has been extended to Friday, October 11th for all incentives and homeroom participation.
Bolts of Blue Campaign Extended Through October 11, 2019

Share on Facebook and Other Social Meeting to Your Friends, Family, and Community Have you checked out our new Lutz Preparatory School Facebook page? Please like our page and then share our Bolts of Blue Campaign post on your personal Facebook page to get the word out to help us reach our goal.
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.
Check with Your Employer to See if they Match Donations
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. Thank you to those families who have pursued this company matching option and DOUBLED their donation to support our school!
Final Bolts of Blue Spirit Days Students not participating in themed spirit day must wear standard Monday-Thursday uniform attire (not Friday spirit shirts).
Spirit Night at Sky Zone Family Night Out for Pre-Prep Thru 8th Grade. Hope to see our Lutz Preparatory Community out enjoying a fun night out!
