The Lyons Township High School Peaceable Schools Initiative (PSI) Club recently donated more than 330 holiday baskets for needy children at the Off the Streets Club, Chicago’s oldest boys and girls club.

In addition to 234 pre-filled baskets, additional supplies, including baskets/buckets, toys, books, arts and crafts, snacks, and more, were donated to fill an additional 100 baskets. Donations came in from the Lyons Township Assessor's Office, LT staff members, PSI students and numerous community members for more donations than ever.

PSI Club creates a positive, comfortable, and supportive learning environment for all. Through improved conflict resolution and communication skills of students and staff alike, LT works together to improve the way conflict is handled in our school and community.
