CHAMPAIGN – The ball caps on the heads of students at Dr. Howard Elementary School on Thursday were a sign of support for a little boy fighting cancer.
Lynn Mikovich, a physical education and health teacher at the school, organized a fundraiser, called Put a Cap on Cancer, for the son of another teacher in the district. Ten-month-old David Weber has a type of cancer called rhabdoid sarcoma and he needs a liver transplant. His father, Phil, teaches fifth grade at Kenwood Elementary School.
