LHS Junior Achievement Selling Custom Kitchen Products

LEMONT, IL — This year's Lemont High School Junior Achievement company, Little Mountain Kitchen Creations, is selling several custom kitchen products. The school said items are now available for preorder, just in time for the holiday season. The Little Mountain Kitchen Creations catalog features three products – a cutting board, a coaster set and a bottle opener. Each can be customized for an additional fee with engravings of either the Lemont High School logo, the Village of Lemont logo or a monogram of up to three letters.

According to the school, both the catalog and an order form are available for download at www.littlemountainkitchen.com. Orders are due Nov. 29. Order forms may be returned to a Junior Achievement representative or Junior Achievement faculty advisor John Aspel. Items may be picked up inside the Porter Street entrance from 3-6 p.m. on Dec. 18-19.

Lemont’s 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.

This year’s Junior Achievement Board includes seniors Joe Tomecki (President), Tobias Hagen (Vice President of Supply Chain), Matt Krueger (Vice President of Finance) and Natalie Palarz (Vice President of Marketing); and junior Max Celis (Vice President of Customer Service & Sales).

Lemont High School’s Junior Achievement entries have earned several Chicagoland “Company of the Year” accolades, most recently in 2018 when “What’s Cooking in Lemont?” – a Lemont-centric cookbook – took home top honors.
