All Pro Dads Meeting
Hey Dads and Kids...Spring is around the corner. The year is moving fast! Join us for February's Lutz Prep/Lutz Pre-Prep All Pro Dad - Dad’s and Kid’s Breakfast. This month's topic is "Kindness". Big Idea: How do we change the world? One act of kindness at a time. The key to life is found in relationship. Good relationships are begun and maintained through the kindness we show one another. Our children need to learn kindness and be shown kindness.
Team up with other Lutz Prep dads and kids for a quick before-school breakfast. Wednesday, February 13th, doors open at 7:00. The program starts at 7:15 and ends at 7:45. 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.

"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.

Habit of the Month: Synergize I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could alone. I look for Third Alternatives.
Parent Tip of the Week: We synergize with others so that we can combine all of our geniuses together!
