Thank You to Our Luz Preparatory Community of Heroes!
Thanks to the generosity of our Lutz Preparatory Community we raised $1700.26 in donations for the Caps for Kids day on Thursday.  We are blown away by the support of our 7th grader battling cancer and the Caps for Kids program.  Check out our Facebook page for lots of pictures of our students showing their school pride and support of this cause.

Remember PTA's Community Outreach Service Project Last Year Showering Emma with Kindness?
Last year PTA provided a monetary donated to Emma's wish through the Children's Dream Fund and our students showered her with letters and cards wishing her well.  Click HERE to remember PTA's Community Service Project from last year.  We just got word that Emma's trip finally happen this past February (delayed due to COVID)!  Thank you to the our Lutz Preparatory Community for supporting this incredible service project last year.  

Thank you from the Children's Dream Fund
Dear Lutz Preparatory Friends and Families,

At long last, sweet Emma, who is now 9, was able to go to Give Kids the World in late-February.   Give Kids the World was closed for 9 months in 2020, and when they announced their reopening date, we were the first wish-granting organization to be able to make reservations and Emma's health has been failing, so she was first on our list.
 
She and her family had the most wonderful time at the Village and at the parks.   We included her enjoying ice cream for breakfast...a special perk at Give Kids the World.
 
I hope that the school year is just getting better and better for your teachers, staff and students.  Our thanks to you and the PTA for all you did to make these special memories for Emma and her family.   

Cynthia
