The Warrior Fund: One LT, Many Hearts

What It Is

The Warrior Fund is our annual campaign to power Ludlow‑Taylor’s students, teachers, and staff. It’s not just fundraising — it’s fuel for the heart of our community. Every gift, big or small, helps us create the programs and experiences that make LT extraordinary. This year’s theme is: One LT, Many Hearts: Investing in Every Child’s Learning. Your gift helps us fund classroom materials, teacher supplies, and durable improvements that support learning every day. We’re focusing our resources on high‑impact needs that directly benefit students.

Why It Matters

Your support makes possible the things DCPS doesn’t cover:

  • Community events like Movie Night and International Night
  • Classroom furniture, supplies, and teacher requests
  • Academic support like Math with Friends and Reading with Friends
  • Aftercare subsidies and scholarships
  • Teacher appreciation breakfasts, gifts, and monthly celebrations
  • Field trip subsidies and uniform assistance

 

The Warrior’s Fund campaign is a critical source of support to fuel all these programs (and more!) that make LT great. This year, we have an ambitious participation goal of 75% of LT families supporting the Warrior Fund at any level of giving that feels personally meaningful.
