💙The First Lutz Student Dance of the Year Was a Hit!
Lutz Students had an amazing time at the much-anticipated Halloween Dance! The gym was packed, the costumes were fabulous, and the dance floor was full of smiles, laughter, and nonstop fun.
Most of all, we loved seeing the joy on our students' faces. Creating opportunities like this to enhance their experience at Lutz is exactly what our efforts are all about. Seeing them celebrate, connect with friends, and enjoy a night just for them made all the planning worthwhile.
💙Volunteers
We were incredibly fortunate to have tremendous volunteer support for this event. Whether you helped with wristband distribution, raffle sales, pizza service, supervision, setup, or cleanup, your time and generosity helped make the evening a success.
A special thank-you to Mary Ann E., Dawn D., Emily L., Donita H., Elizabeth F. and friend, Jaclyn D. and friend, Kennedy D., Julie M., Ena M. and friend, Cristy N., Tiffany P. and friend, and everyone else who volunteered behind the scenes.
If we accidentally missed your name, please let us know so we can recognize you. We appreciate each and every one of you!
A heartfelt thanks to Executive Board members Ann G. and Michelle G. for leading our volunteer team and helping create such a fun, organized, and memorable event.
💙Parents, Families, Friends & Caregivers
Thank you to every parent, family member, friend, and caregiver who attended. It was wonderful seeing everyone mingle, connect, and enjoy time together. Your presence helps create the warm, welcoming community that makes Lutz so special.
💙 Lutz Staff
Our students lit up when they saw their teachers and administrators at the dance. Thank you for choosing to spend your time with students outside of school hours. The relationships you build extend far beyond the classroom, and the excitement on students' faces when they see you at school events says it all. We truly appreciate all of the Lutz staff! A special thank-you to Lutz custodial staff whose behind-the-scenes work helps make events like this possible. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
💙 Welcome back to Lutz, DJ V! Vitto Bonanni
There is something especially meaningful about seeing former students return and share their success with our community. Thank you for bringing your talent, professionalism, and incredible energy back to Lutz. As always, you kept the party hopping and the dance floor packed all night long!
💙 Carlo's Pizza 18 & Hayes never disappoints! Thank you for delivering delicious pizza and those huge party trays that everyone looks forward to!
✨ Thank you to everyone who helped make our first dance of the year such a wonderful success. Seeing our students laugh, dance, and create memories together is what it's all about, and we couldn't do it without all of you!
