Students help students
Students and teachers from LHS homerooms will deliver Christmas baskets to 20 local families in need Friday, Dec. 16.
This year Rachel Evans and the LHS chapter of the National Honor Society will keep the project running after previous English teacher Pam Moore’s retirement in 2015. Moore ran the project from 1988 up until the year after she retired.
For nearly 60 years, LHS homerooms participated in the Christmas Basket Project in order to help families with students enrolled in the Lewiston School District. Students collect food items, personal care products, holiday gifts and other necessities. The project has also received help from, Clearwater Paper, and the Pepsi organization, who have been long time supporters.
“With the help of the Lewiston schools’ resource staff and the Christmas Connection organization, many hundreds of families were helped over the years.” said Moore.
