What's The Scoop At the Luce?
Hello Luce Friends & Families,
Last week was filled with joy and learning. Students were excited to learn that our biggest fundraiser Boosterthon was back!!! At this point, 21% of students at our school have registered for the Boosterthon. If we get to 80% by Monday, students will get to duct tape their principal to a wall! Can we get to 80% by Monday?!
We can do it!!!!!
