Spring Youth Sports Sign-Up is Underway

Recreational softball, baseball and soccer registration is open now for K-12 students.  View the registration flyer for details.

Surely spring will come and we'll be ready to be outside!

Who's ready to think school supplies?

If you like to plan ahead or just don't want to hassle with going out and purchasing school supplies, Lucas will once again be using School Kidz service to order pre-packaged supply kits.  Details are available here.

This is a completely optional service!  Contact Brooke at brookemhill@gmail.com with questions.

Cakes, Cakes, Cakes!

Cake Donations Needed for FUN NIGHT March 7th

The Cake Walks need AS MANY CAKES AS POSSIBLE.  The Cake Walk is much like musical chairs, only, when the music stops and your number gets called, you win a cake!!  

Lucas PTO relies on the generous and creative donations of parents, grandparents and kids, to bake a cake, decorate a masterpiece, or bring in something already made at the bakery.  The more cakes we get donated, the more kids and parents can win!  As an added bonus, the most creative and bakery-worthy cakes will be auctioned off - if your cake gets picked for the auction, you will win a prize!

Please consider donating one or more cakes for Lucas FUN NIGHT.  More details on how to donate coming soon. 

Lucas art teachers seek art supplies from your recycling box

Lucas art teachers are in need of donations of cardboard paper towel rolls, cardboard egg cartons and buttons. Just think of all the creations our kids can make with those materials! Items may be dropped off in the art room before or after school or students can bring the items to school on their art day.  Thanks for supporting the arts at Lucas!
