LT spreads holiday cheer

LT Student Council organizes the shopping sprees made by district students, staff, classes and clubs for 150 local children.

Members of the Lyons Township High School Student Council organize the shopping sprees made by district students, staff, classes and clubs for 150 local children. Each child will receive clothing, a toy, a book and school supplies thanks to the sponsors of the Secret Santa Program, hosted by the Rotary Club of LaGrange.

A total of 150 needy local children will be surprised this holiday season with clothing, school items and toys thanks to Lyons Township High School elves. The elves are actually students, faculty members, classes, teams, clubs, departments or offices participating in the Rotary Club of LaGrange’s Secret Santa program. The program is designed to match a group with an area child, and let the group be Santa for that youngster. For many families, the gifts provided by Secret Santa are the only gifts under their tree. Groups collect between $125 per child then shop for gifts specifically for their child. The gifts are then presented to the family and distributed at the holiday.
