Fritsche Honored for Perryville Playground

(Perryville, MO) An eight grade student from Perryville Lucas Fritsche is being honored by State Representatives Dale Wright and Rick Francis for his role in raising more than a half million dollars over 6 years, for an all inclusive playground in Perryville. Wright and Francis welcomed Fritsche to the State Capitol Tuesday, February 1. Francis and Wright asked their colleagues in the Missouri House of Representatives to join them in honoring Lucas for his effort. Fritsche is responsible for the construction of the Lucas and Friends Backyard Adventures Playground. He was motivated to push for the inclusive playground at the young age of 8 when he noticed some of his friends with disabilities were not able to enjoy their school playground equipment. Fritsche began his mission to create a playground that could be enjoyed by all of his friends. Francis and Wright presented Fritsche with an official House Resolution honoring him for his extraordinary dedication to his community and to help others.
