Dear Lutz Preparatory Families,
The Lutz Prep PTA is working in partnership with school Administration on the 5th annual Bolts of Blue Campaign. This onefundraising event will support the needs of our students, school, and PTA. We are requesting that each family consider making a single financial donation, which will contribute to the cost of these events and more. Specifically, your generous donation will benefit your child/children as follows:
(Due to COVID-19 some events may be canceled for the 2021-2022 school year)
Lutz Prep PTA Programs and Free Events including, but not limited to, BooHoo Breakfast, Junior Achievement, mini-grants for teachers, new technology for students, Grandparents Breakfast, SMATH Night, Field Day, and much more.
Lutz Prep PTA Sponsored Events including Father-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son Event, and Trunk-or-Treat.
“Leader in Me” Training for Faculty, Staff, and Parents These trainings, which are based on the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, instills a process whereby faculty, staff, and parents can effectively teach and model these habits to students. These trainings will assist students in not only becoming academically successful, but strong in character using skills that are ageless, timeless, and will lead them to success in all they do. We invite you to visit http://www.theleaderinme.org/ for more information on this exciting program.
School Sponsored Events including Leadership Day, Lightning Leaders, Student Lighthouse, Athletics, Elementary and Middle school clubs, VPK graduation, Kindergarten celebration, 5th grade celebration, and 8th grade graduation, Leader in Me Celebrations, and Leader in Me student led events and activities.
COVID-19 Mitigation Supplies including, but not limited to, disinfectant spray, hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, day porters for cleaning commonly touched surfaces, and much more.
In the event that we are fortunate enough to raise more money than anticipated, the additional funds will go to help make improvements to our school inside and out as well as help with operational expenses. In past years, we were able to make improvements in the gymnasium by updating the floors, bleachers, and lighting. We have created and hung middle school house flags, allocated funds to the music program to make enhancements in things such as the Lutz Prep Band, funded Leader in Me student led projects throughout the school, purchased new technology for all grade levels, and funded MTSS support materials beyond the current curriculum. In addition, we have purchased items to improve air quality such as air purifiers for classroom as well as MB3 air filters for the main A/C units to enhance our COVID-19 mitigation strategies.
The fundraising goal for this campaign is $130,000. We encourage all families to participate in this fundraising campaign by displaying their school spirit and to consider at least a $175 donation if possible. In lieu of a personal donation, families may also utilize the business packet and reach out to local businesses who may be willing to become a business partner with Lutz Prep while also sponsoring your family. The goal for each homeroom is $1,800 and the minimum donation to be considered and applied for the homeroom participation is $50. All homerooms who reach their goal will receive prizes.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with your child/children and thank you for all your support as we begin the journey of lifelong learning. Please contact Tricia Hume at (813) 428-7107 or BoltsOfBlue@lutzprep.org if you have any questions.
How can you make a donation?
Donations can be paid by cash, check, or money order made payable to Lutz Preparatory School or online via PayPal through the Lutz Prep school store. Please remit all non-electronic payments to the school in an envelope addressed to “Business Manager”
All sponsorships must have the sponsorship form attached at the time that the donation is remitted to ensure that your child/children receive credit for the donation. Unless otherwise specified all donations will be split equally amongst your children.
For families that wish to have additional family members or a business contribute on behalf of your child/children, please combine all donations to ensure that the total donation will qualify the child/children for a specific donation level (see attached).
For each business that sponsors your child/children, the business will receive the advertising benefits as outlined in the attachment and the child/children will receive credit towards their homeroom goal.
Family and Business Sponsors will receive an official charitable donation letter after receipt of contribution.
The deadline is Friday, October 8th for all incentives and homeroom participation.
With thanks,
Bonnie Guertin Jennifer Kouffman
Director of Schools Lutz Preparatory K-8 Lutz Preparatory PTA President
