LT ELVES MAKE HOLIDAY WRITE NIGHT MAGICAL FOR KIDS
|
|
|
|
LT recently established a direct link to the North Pole via the computer. Hundreds of children, aged kindergarten through third grade, composed letters to Santa on Discovery Center computers and received an immediate response from the North Pole!
LT's Holiday Write Night hosted a story room, coloring room, face-painting room, and cupcake decorating room all staffed by LT elves. Children took pictures with LT's mascots, Noil and Nessie, and created a personalized holiday card on the computer. They also recorded a holiday message that will be heard on WLTL radio and enjoyed punch and cookies, as well as musical entertainment provided by LT students.

HOLIDAY SPIRIT ABOUNDS AT LT
|
|
|
|
A total of 150 needy local children will be surprised this holiday season with clothing, school items and toys thanks to LT elves. The elves are actually students, faculty, classes, teams, clubs, departments and 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 $125 per child then shop for gifts specifically for their child. The gifts are then presented to the family and distributed at the holiday.

The cold and flu season is right around the corner. Please remember that a student who has been sick with a fever or vomiting must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school. Please know that the same applies to all faculty and staff. Also, remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer and avoid touching your eyes or face. These two items are excellent lines of defense against the spread of germs.
