I was just thinking about Lucas because when he graduated from my class, he gave me a lantern that I put out on my front porch every year. The next day I walked into Maple School and heard. I can't tell you how sorry and sad I am. Lucas was one of my all time favorite students. I'm so sorry. Mrs Bogdan
