PSI Easter Baskets :::

The Lyons Township High School Peaceable Schools Initiative (PSI) Club filled 100 Easter Baskets for needy children at the Off the Streets Club, Chicago’s oldest boys and girls club.

All supplies -- baskets/buckets, toys, books, art supplies, snacks, and more– were donated by LTHS staff and students. A special thanks to the girls’ softball teams and their coaches, the Art Club, and the paraprofessionals who individually, or in groups, gave above and beyond expectations. Contributions were so numerous that LT filled enough baskets for every child who attended the Easter party at the Off the Streets Club facility.

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.

The Off the Street Club in West Garfield Park provides a safe, supportive environment where the neighborhood's 4- to 18-year-olds can do their homework or play computer games in the Learning Center; perform plays in the Performing Arts Center; dance, roller skate, sing, and play musical instruments; express themselves through arts and crafts and woodshop; and more.
