LHS Junior Achievement Creates, Sells Daily Lemont Calendar

LEMONT, IL — If you know someone who absolutely loves Lemont, the Lemont High School Junior Achievement may have the gift for you. LHS' Junior Achievement company, LHS Publishing, Inc., has developed the "Lemont 365" daily calendar.

LHS' Junior Achievement organization annually builds a business from scratch, the school said. A student-led board creates a product, sells stock in the company and markets the product, with a goal of reaping dividends for its shareholders.

The calendar is available for $15 through Dec. 14, and will increase to $20 on Dec. 15, according to LHS. The calendar is filled with inspirational quotes and facts about the Village of Lemont and Lemont High School.

You can buy the calendar on the school website.

Purchases can be picked up inside the main entrance at LHS from 2:45 to 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 20 and Dec. 21. Delivery may be delayed due to supply chain issues. No items will be mailed.

This year’s Junior Achievement board includes seniors Lauren Meyer (Co-Team Leader of Customer Service) and John Vranas (Team Leader of Management), and juniors Lydia Pelen (Team Leader of Finance), Lukas Petraitis (Co-Team Leader of Customer Service), Nathan Tilly (Team Leader of Supply Chain) and Cael Whitchurch (Team Leader of Marketing), according to the school.

Lemont High School’s Junior Achievement entries have earned eight Chicagoland “Company of the Year” accolades in the last 14 years, including victories in 2018, 2019 and 2020, LHS said.
