As of today, candles in memory of Lucas Van Sprange are being sold at school. Students have been buzzing with questions and want to know more about the candles. I sat down with FHC junior Irene Yi, who is behind the project and got all the information the student body needs to know.
Q: What is the purpose behind selling the Live Like Lucas candles?
A: “We [Rylee Hrnyak, Colleen Kramer, Jessica Henry, Maddie Paciorek and Ellie Matelic] are selling the candles for a DECA project. We have organized this so we would be donating through the Live Like Lucas foundation for pediatric cancer.”
Q: When will the candles be sold and where can they be bought?
A: “We sold them today during lunch and will be selling them tomorrow (02/09/2017) during lunch and then Friday (02/10/2017) at the Varsity Basketball game.”
Q: What is the cost for the candles?
A: “They were previously being sold for $20, but we are selling them for $10.”
The message behind Live Like Lucas is an important one, “Empowering youth to shower kindness.” The candles proceeds go to a great cause and the candle, illuminating a room or just displaying the beautiful bottle, is a wonderful reminder to show kindness to everyone and to spread and celebrate Lucas Van Sprange’s legacy.
