Lutie school staff and faculty members recently pitched in to purchase a book for every student in the school from preschool through 12th grade. On the big gift day, Dec. 19, students were brought into the hallways to receive the books, which were distributed by Lutie junior Abraxas Collins who donned green dyed hair and  a green painted face to protray “the Grinch.” Several photos of the  event are posted on the Lutie R-VI school’s Facebook page.
