A Message From Augustus Zittritsch

Hello there! I'm Augustus Stephen! This spring will mark my THIRD Mini-Laps at LLH! Mini Laps is the largest parent-led fundraiser my school, Little Light House, has each year. I'm helping raise money so my friends and I can continue to receive free educational and therapeutic services. YOU can help us reach every inch-stone we can by chipping in to back LLH's fundraising goals. Then, this spring on April 12th, 2025 at 9:00 AM you're invited to attend Mini-Laps. That day my friends and I get to celebrate all the milestones YOU helped make possible in our lives by taking a lap around the Little Light House track; this year in full "Under the Sea" regalia! Since it's my third time to cruise the track I thought I would fill you in on all the new stuff Little Light House has been working with me on! This fall and winter were a doozy! I started out my year with my new friends in Jade class, but then decided to play a little hooky... well... a lot of hooky. Almost five months worth! Lucky for me I'm the most charming person you'll ever meet. I just batted my lustrous eyelashes, flashed a smile and, "Boom!" Now I'm in Connected Learning. Mom and Miss Mindy say I can go back to Jade when I get my truancy under control... whatever that means! I've just been hanging with my other buddies at Hotel de Saint Francis. Would you believe even there Miss Mindy comes to help with my vision therapy? She also plays the drums with me, tells me stories, and works with me on my batting average. I'm even busy learning and communicating, "Yes" and "No." Inch-stones, remember? I'm the KING of them! It's this kind of stuff that your donations go towards! Please take a moment to stop and consider what you could do to help. Even the smallest achievements bring so much joy. We celebrate every little thing, because sometimes they become our great stories of triumph! Sincerely, Augustus "GusGus" Stephen Zittritsch P.S.

In Support of Little Light House

Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for Children with Special Needs from birth to 6 years old. Tulsa’s Little Light House is internationally recognized as providing some of the most individualized special education and therapeutic early intervention services in the world. A trans-disciplinary team approach maximizes a comprehensive knowledge from professionals who work collaboratively to design prescriptive programs for each child and assist every child in reaching their maximum potential. Through a variety of programs and schedules, these services are carried out by highly credentialed teachers, therapists, and specialists who represent decades of pediatric experience. Early Intervention classes are provided as a part-time program where caregivers attend and learn along with their child for two-hour classes once a week. 

Little Light House is tuition-free for families and does not receive government or United Way funding. Support comes from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. In addition, LLH hosts four annual fundraisers each year bringing in about 40% of the $4.2 million dollar operating cost that allows our staff of over 90 members to provide services to over 300 children and families, support nearly a thousand volunteers, and train over 1,000 college and career students each year.

Little Light House believes that all children are a gift from God with the potential to achieve specific milestones to advance their quality of life. We strive for excellence by utilizing a Bible-based curriculum in a fun and loving atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, trans-disciplinary and God-centered approach to education-an approach that joins parents, professionals, and the Holy Spirit as partners in order to nurture the spirit, mind, and body of the children and their families. Our commitment incorporates being called to work/volunteer with children with special needs. Little Light House encourages a positive outlook on the future, based on trust in a loving heavenly Father.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS
