Leader in Me:  January Habit of the Month
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood:  I listen to other people's ideas and feelings.  I try to see things from their viewpoint (paradigm).  I listen to others without interrupting.  I listen with my ears, my eyes, and my heart.  I am confident in voicing my ideas.

PTA Corner
All Pro Dad Breakfast
Hey Dads and Kids...Get back into the swing of things in the new year with us.  Join us for December's Lutz Prep/Lutz Pre-Prep All Pro Dad - Dad’s and Kid’s Breakfast.  This month's topic is "Dependability".  Big Idea: If you were to find yourself in a difficult situation and needed help, who would you turn to? You would turn to someone you trust, who you can count on to be there for you. In other words, you would turn to someone who is dependable. As an All Pro Dad, you want to raise your children to be people others can trust and count on—dependable.

Team up with other Lutz Prep dads and kids for a quick before-school breakfast on Wednesday, January 15th, 2020.  Doors open at 7:00 AM.  The program starts at 7:15 AM and ends at 7:45 AM, remember to bring your driver's license to check in at the main office. It’s fun and it’s free.  You and your kids will be glad you came!  Great way to start the morning.  Contact Ryan Martin with any questions.
