LHS Junior Achievement Seeks Lemont Scary Stories For Book

LEMONT, IL — Lemont High School’s Junior Achievement company is producing a Lemont-centric book of scary stories, and residents have the opportunity to share their most frightening tales for possible inclusion in the book.

The school said the book, “Nightmare on State Street,” will feature hair-raising tales that take place in Lemont. Stories can come from all Lemont High School stakeholders, including students, parents/guardians, faculty and staff, and the community at-large. Art students from Lemont High School and Old Quarry Middle School will make the stories come alive with original illustrations.

The Junior Achievement Board is accepting stories online; visit www.lhs210.net and choose ‘Junior Achievement’ under the “Student Activities” tab. The deadline to submit stories is Thursday, Oct. 31. The school said the Junior Achievement Board will narrow the list of stories that will be included in the book.

According to the school, Lemont’s Junior Achievement organization annually builds a business from scratch. 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.

This year’s Junior Achievement board includes seniors Max Celis (President), Jacob Clarage (Supply Chain), Andrew Juarez (Finance) and Ella Pelen (Customer Service), and sophomore Claudia Palarz (Marketing).

“Nightmare on State Street” will be available for preorder later this fall.
