We want to demonstrate our support for her, her family, and other children battling cancer. We are hosting a Caps for Kids day at Lutz Prep on Thursday, April 29, 2021.
We would love to see the whole school community participate for an individual $1.00 donation per student. You may donate virtually at the website Caps for Kids created (see link below) or you may have your child bring in a donation in an envelope to give to their classroom teacher. Our goal is to have our on campus and eLearning students all contribute to display our love and kindness to this wonderful 7th grader who calls Lutz Prep her home. Thank you for your support and generosity.
