Sophia Haes

Today, on Caprice’s birthday, we honor the beautiful impact she made through her love for children, her teaching, and her travels.

Caprice’s heart belonged to her students. For almost 30 years, ahe taught in Las Vegas and Detroit, pouring into children with patience, belief, and dedication. She didn’t just educate — she uplifted. She saw potential in every child and reminded them constantly:

“An education is something no one can ever take from you.”

Her passion extended far beyond her own classroom. Caprice took 5 trips to the Amazon to personally deliver school supplies to children in need with her best friend Kim Caipa. They taught side by side for 18 years.

She traveled the world and visited all 50 states, bringing back stories, trinkets, and inspiration to the those she loved so deeply. She showed children that the world was wide, full of possibility — and that they were capable of stepping into it.

Her life was devoted to empowering young people.

In her memory, we invite you to support the Caprice Haes Memorial Scholarship through Project 150, helping Nevada high school students pursue higher education.

If you feel moved, please donate in her honor:

Every gift continues her mission. Every dollar carries her love forward. 💜

I am blown away reading this today! She was the best person I have ever met. The few engagements we had were the best of times in Vermont. I will miss her dearly.

Way back when, Caprice lived in Vermont for a bit and attended Harwood Union High School in Moretown, Vermont. I was fortunate to be her guidance counselor. During that time we developed a friendship that lasted through the years. Some phone calls, some messages but certainly not enough. Caprice had that sparkle during that time at Harwood and it was clear that the sparkle and the passion to help others and think of others became such an important part of her life. The students that Caprice had the opportunity to influence make and will continue to make this world a better place for all. I am heartbroken and I am honored to have known Caprice. Peter duMoulin

I worked with Caprice at Miller and she always had a smile and was a source of positivity everyday. She was an amazing teacher and an even better person. I remember our talk the last day of school and how she wanted to see pictures of my daughter and wanted to know all the milestones she had recently reached, we laughed and laughed as I went through pictures. I will cherish all my memories of her.

Auntie Peace, you were/are a light in my life. Going to Nevada every summer, I looked forward to our sleepovers. You made me feel so accepted and always welcomed me with open arms. Some of my fondest memories are when soph, hunter and I would spend days with you, paddle boarding, watching movies, eating vegetarian sushi and so much more. I can picture you clear as day singing “all you need is love” when us kids would argue. I’m so thankful to have had you in my life… you were/are truly an incredible human being filled with magic and sunshine. Miss you endlessly peace.

Ms. Haes was my 8th Grade history teacher. She fostered in me a love for learning not just for history and geography but for everything else. She understood her students and her class always brightened up my day. I will always remember her kindness and how she came to teach us even if she was struggling. She was a role model to me and will always cherish the memories I had in her class. Much love to everyone. Rest in peace Ms. Haes.

Ms.Haes was my history teacher this year. I think only one or two other teacher have made such a positive impact in my life. I tried to talk to her every day, whether it be about her helping her mom move into her new house or if she was going to visit her dad in Florida or recently her two new ginger kittens. I was going to email her, update her on my life, and ask if she wanted to meet up for coffee or breakfast, just something because of how much I loved her this year, when I found out from a friend that she died. I was completely taken aback and in shock, because no matter what she felt like that day, she was always cheerful and a complete sunshine that could bring up anyone’s mood, even if she was in complete and utter pain from what was happening, she didn’t let it affect her. She had such a beautiful view of the world and everything and everyone in it, a complete optimist no matter how bad it got and she cared for everyone in the world. If there’s going to be a funeral, even if no one knows me, I would love to go to say goodbye and offer my condolences.

Ms. Haes was my eighth grade Geography teacher. I lived to do projects in her class. I created a whole series called "Eunique's Uniquely Unique" with her encouragement. She made learning both fun and exciting and pushed me to be proud of my creativity and enjoyment of learning. I was in a new state, at a still new school and she made my transition so easy. I have thought about her often in the last 20+ years since I was in her class. I always wondered where she might've ended up. I was excited to see her picture pop up on Facebook but absolutely heartbroken to see that it was announcing her passing. I had hoped to connect with her and let her know how much she had meant to me becoming a more confident and proud person. She was kind, funny, and bright and I will always remember her. I hope those who love her know just how greatly she impacted her students. She was one of a kind. I will miss her. I hope she is resting peacefully. All my love.

I once gave Mrs Haes a gift for her birthday that was coming up, since this was when she started to become sick but still showed up everyday. She gave me back a letter saying how sweet I was, I am now going to dig through tiny stuff to find that, hang it up, and always remember her.

Mrs Haes was my history teacher this year. She inspired me so much, from being kind to people, to not giving up and doing what you loved. I was lucky enough to be in her third period class, and sit right by her desk. We would have conversations, o would help her deliver paperwork to other classrooms when she couldn’t do it. She’s such a kind soul and she will forever be missed.
We love you Mrs Haes!!

I remember one time she called my parents to tell them how good of a student I was. My parents didn’t believe her, as I’m not really a good kid, but Ms Haes treated me so kindly nonetheless. She was one of my favorite teachers, and I am forever grateful to have had her as one. May GOD rest her soul. Amen 🕊️

Ms haes was one of the sweetest people ive ever met she had the most beautiful soul and treated everybody with so much kindness and open arms. Ive never met someone like her that cares so much about the world and the people in it. No matter what she always saw the good in everybody even everybody disagreed.

Ms Haes was the kindest person I’ve ever met. I’ve never had a teacher impact my life like she did. She was an incredible woman. Every day during fifth period, no matter how bad of a day she was having or how much pain she went through, Ms Haes had the biggest smile on her face. She would greet us with a warm “good afternoon”, and we’d begin class by watching CNN10. She was smart, witty, extremely wise and always so loving to everyone, even to those who didn’t reciprocate the affection. Ms Haes loved to travel, and she’d tell stories of her travels with the class. Just from her stories, you could tell how respectful she was. She’d abide by culture, had respect for every religion and every human she came across. She saw the good in everyone. In my past, I faced a lot of trauma. Ms Haes always knew when I needed a little more love and support on the hard days. Each day, my friend Arabella and I would run up to her and give her a big hug. Gosh, her smile was absolutely incredible. She could immediately light up any room she walked into. She felt like love itself. Her warmth and kindness was felt by everyone. Ms Haes was so selfless. Sometimes, she’d let me skip my work for the class period (she’d trust me to complete it at home which I always did) and we’d just talk. I’d tell her about stories from my culture as I’m Brazilian, she’d love to tell me about her stories. Even if it was just letting me sit next to her to do my work, she was always there for me. She’d let Arabella and I sit next to each other the whole school year because she saw our bond and knew she could trust us to get our work done. She helped me gain motivation to work hard on my studies. Ms Haes and I spoke about everything, but what impacted me the most is how we both connected like family. One day, I told her “Ms Haes, every time I look at you I not only sense but also feel a connection the word peace”. She told me her niece and nephew called her “Auntie Peace”. After that, our bond only grew stronger. My mother, who is a hairstylist, got the opportunity to do her hair. Seeing Ms Haes smile in a way that I knew she felt so beautiful touched my heart. She impacted everyone she came across. I’m still coping with her loss as everyone is, but I know heaven gained a true angel and I can’t wait to see her again.💞

Ms Haes is one of the kindest souls ive met. She never would be rude and she always had a smile on her face. She had passion for her job and she really loved working there. Every time I would see her in the halls she was smiling even is she was carrying something in or just doing the most simple things she was never upset. She would help anyone at any opportunity she had and she would be happy doing it. She was nice to every kid in her class and we all will miss her in the future and now. We will miss her smile as she walks past and her helping hand. We loved Ms Haes and nobody could have anything bad to say about her. I didn’t even have her as a teacher but she was so sweet. I could walk in and say anything and she would laugh. We will all miss her and love her everyday. We love you Ms Haes rest in peace beautiful.❤️

Mrs Haes was my 8th grade history teacher this year and I still haven’t grasped that she’s gone. But I know she’s in a happier place now. She was one of the kindest souls I have ever met. She never ever didn’t say good morning or hello with a big smile on her face even if she was hurting or having a bad day. She always had a positive attitude and always made everyone feel welcome. She was a good teacher and I’m really going to miss her. Im gonna really miss you Mrs Haes. ❤️

Mrs. Haes was my teacher last year. My locker was right next to her classroom so me and my friends would often find ourselves talking to her. She always treated us with respect and was one of the nicest people I have met. Even when she got sick, she was still always trying to reminds and my classmates of the importance of the earth and the kindness within it. She was one of my favorite teachers ever and I am so happy to have known her. My condolences to her family and I hope she rests in peace.
