December Habit of the Month
Think Win-Win:  I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want.  When conflicts arise, I look for a win-win solution.
Tip of the Week:  isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique; it is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration.

Announcing the new Lutz Prep Media Center Art Gallery
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in Library Media classes discussed how they would like to improve the Media Center.  All the classes agreed – we need more color and decorations!
 
We have decided to ask our students to participate in the beautification of our Media Center!  All Lutz Prep students may participate.
 
All submissions must:  
  • Be done completely by the student and at home (not in art classes)
  • Be able to be kept for the entire 2nd semester or donated for permanent use
  • Show how books inspire them (characters, places, things from books, etc.)
  • Be ready for hanging in the Media Center (on a stretched canvas or framed)
  • Be of any art media such as oils, watercolors, crayon, colored pencils, pencil, photos, etc.
  • Be at least 9” x 11” and not larger than 22” x 34” (poster size)
 
If you like to have your child’s artwork displayed in the Media Center next semester, please contact Mrs. O’Sullivan by email at judy.osullivan@lutzprep.org for additional directions.

We will use as many submissions as possible.  Students - Please join us in this project!
