I don't think there's a library function that does what you want, so you'd
need to define your own. Here's one way to do it:
(define (capitalize-first-letter str)
(cond
[(non-empty-string? str)
(define first-letter-str
(substring str 0 1))
(define rest-str
(substring str 1 (string-length str)))
(string-append (string-upcase first-letter-str)
rest-str)]
[else
""]))
