Many High Schools are beginning to have Open House/Orientations for their upcoming 9th graders.  Please note this is not a complete listing, if you are interested in a school please start contacting them now for details on enrollment for the 2019-20 school year.

"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.

Update on Donations Drive:  816 new leveled early readers & 282 gently used books that have been donated in the last two weeks.  The grand total is 1,098 books, with several weeks to still collect.


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

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!  

The winning grade level will win A Snow Ball Fight!
Collection Contest ends March 1, 2019!
Each homeroom class must collect a minimum of 300 Box Tops for the months of January AND February in order to qualify for the contest!  The grade level that collects the most will be the winner!  Winner will be announced on March 2nd.  Don’t forget to use the Box Tops app!


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.  
DID YOU KNOW?  Box Tops expire 4 times a year: March, June, November and December, the 2 big expiration dates are March and November!  The school gets 10 cents for every little unexpired rectangle that is turned in!
