🍀 We’re “Phelan Lucky” to Know Lucas! 🍀
We’re excited to once again celebrate Phelan Lucky Day on March 17 in support of awareness for Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder caused by a difference in chromosome 22.
This day is especially meaningful to our school community as we honor Lucas Hush, an 11th-grade student and the son of our high school math teacher, Grey Hush. Despite the challenges of this rare condition, Lucas lives life to the fullest and brings joy to everyone around him.
In partnership with the Phelan Lucky Foundation, families, and staff, we’re helping raise awareness, support affected families, and fund important research.
💚 Consider purchasing a Phelan Lucky shirt
💚 Or wear a past shirt, green, or shamrocks to show your support
Let’s come together and rock our shamrocks on March 17 in honor of Lucas. We truly are Phelan Lucky to know him! 🍀💚
