Cochran kept her fingers crossed all the computers would keep working and stay connected to the North Pole on the school’s second floor, where other student elves assisted Santa. They are already doing such a good job.”Īt the computer next door, 9-year-old Lilly Dodge of La Grange did her own typing, telling Santa she had been “VERY GOOD!!!” when she asked for a sewing kit.ĭorothy Cochran, director of the south campus Discovery Center housing computers and books, urged young visitors to have patience. Soon, he responded, “No, I don’t think Santa will be getting any more reindeer or elves to help out. The two girls giggled and speculated on what Santa would say. Seven-year-old Marissa Murray of LaGrange Park asked a string of questions with a little typing assistance from her personal elf, La Grange senior Anne Gertsmeier. The keyboard exchanges weren’t quite as quick as some Instant Messaging programs, but the North Pole responses were worth the wait. The slew of activities for children in preschool through third-grade featured a computer chat with Santa, rather than old-fashioned letter writing. The school’s south campus in Western Springs hosted nearly 400 children for the 23rd annual Holiday Write Night Dec. This mission will be accomplished through the efforts of a dedicated professional staff, with the cooperation of parents, and community.If Santa wanted to liven up the North Pole, he could take a few pointers from the elves at Lyons Township High School. A variety of enrichment activities will be offered to support and supplement the academic program, and to promote the development of the whole child. This environment will foster optimum growth and development of each student through an academic program focusing on basic skills, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and transmission of cultural knowledge and values.
