Lux Middle School students earn Lux Bux throughout the school year for being safe, responsible, and respectful at school. Students then spend that money at our School Store.
Your donations will help purchase items like school supplies, water bottles, sports balls, fidgets, snacks, and other high-value type items middle school students love. 
Help us reach our goal to reward students for helpful and respectful behavior at school! Requesting $1000.00 plus cost reimbursement.

Thank you for you consideration and donation to help Lux Middle School!

Our Sheridan 5th graders are now the leaders of the school and with that comes lots of fun activities, field trips, and experiences! To unite us as a group, as a safety measure, and to celebrate our last year as sharks, we are ordering special 5th grade t-shirts. The cost is about $8.00 per shirt. We also have exciting opportunities to go to the Omaha Zoo this fall (about $10 per student) and bowling (about $9 per student) this spring! Requesting $1,850.00 plus cost reimbursement.

The Project: Lefler Snack Shack 
We are launching the Lefler Snack Shack, a mobile snack cart service dedicated to serving the amazing teachers at Lefler Middle School. To get this program rolling, we need community donations to help purchase our initial inventory, supplies, and cart decorations.

Why It Matters: Building Real-World Skills
This program is entirely operated by students in our Life Skills program. The Snack Shack serves as a hands-on learning lab where students gain vital, real-world experience:
Money Skills: Counting cash, making change, and tracking inventory.
Social Skills: Greeting customers, taking orders, and practicing polite communication.
Vocational Skills: Filling orders accurately and delivering them across the building.

The Cycle of Giving: Community Integration
Every dollar earned from the snack cart goes directly back into our students' education. 100% of the proceeds will fund community-based instruction trips, allowing students to apply their classroom knowledge in the real world.

Future activities include:
Coffee Shop Visits: Ordering items independently and managing personal budgets.
Grocery Store Trips: Navigating aisles, following shopping lists, and purchasing items.
Community Engagement: Practicing safety and social skills in public spaces.

How You Can Help:
Your donation directly funds the start-up supplies needed to launch this venture. By supporting the Lefler Snack Shack, you are investing in our teachers' morning pick-me-ups and, more importantly, empowering our Life Skills students with independence and confidence.
