PTA Corner
Box Top Campaign
Remember to collect all year long!  This year each classroom has a collection goal of 300 each month and 1800 by the end of the year!  Classroom collections will be tallied monthly and for the classes that achieve their monthly goals they will be rewarded!  

Box Tops has their next big submission deadline coming up, March 1!  The PTA is working hard to get an exciting competition approved that would combine the months of January and February for collections.  Details coming soon! 

Please follow these simple steps to help make our collection drive run smoothly:

  1. Neatly cut and sort your Box Tops and place into baggies or print a fun collection sheet from HERE and adhere the Box Tops.
  2. Place your child's name and homeroom teacher's name on the baggie or collection sheet so that he/she receives credit.
  3. Baggies can be dropped off in the collection mailbox in the front lobby or with your homeroom teacher.  

"Read" It Forward Book Drive
In the spirit of our school's "Pay It Forward" initiative, Ava A. (7th grade) and our Lutz Prep Library will be hosting a book drive.  Please bring new or gently used books to the Media Center to donate to the Sullivan Partnership/Metropolitan Ministries.  The books may be for Toddlers through Middle School levels (no adult level books, please).  We will begin the book drive on Wednesday, January 16th and end on Friday, March 8th.  We will collect, sort and deliver the books before Spring Break so all the area children will have some great reading during their time away from school.

Please take this time to do a little book "Spring Cleaning" and "Read" It Forward!   Presented by:  Ava A. and Mrs. O'Sullivan, Library Coordinator
