Community SpotlightLTHS HELPS KIDS CONNECT TO SANTA... Lyons Township High School recentlyestablished 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 cookie decorating room all staffed by LT elves. Children took pictures with LT’s mascot, 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, baked by LT’s Chef’s Club, as well as musical entertainment provided by LT student musicians.  Junior Sarah Dean, of La Grange, volunteers as one of Santa’s computer savvy elves and helps compose a letter to Santa.
