Bolts of Blue Campaign Runs Through October 8th
We have just one week left in our Bolts of Blue Campaign.  We are very thankful for the support from our Lutz Preparatory community.  We can't wait to continue to celebrate our success with our students.  

How Can You Help to Meet Our Fundraising Goal?
If we look to our community and extended Lutz Preparatory supporters by spreading the word to businesses that support education we can without a doubt exceed our campaign goal!  Please consider the following examples of additional ways to support Lutz Preparatory.

Share on Facebook and Other Social Media to Your Friends, Family, and Community
Have you checked out our Lutz Preparatory School Facebook page?  Please like our page and then share our Bolts of Blue Campaign post on your personal Facebook page to get the word out to help us reach our goal. 

Check with Your Employer to See if They Match Donations
Many of our parents' employers will match dollar-for-dollar donations to non-profit organizations like Lutz Prep.  Check with your HR department to see if they offer this benefit.  We also encourage our families to reach out to local businesses in your community for sponsorships in addition to potential employer matching benefits.  Thank you to those families who have pursued this company matching option and DOUBLED their donation to support our school!
 


Please make sure you sign and return the voucher that is stapled to the inside cover of your blue folder; the voucher will enter your student into incentive drawings throughout the campaign.
