Local families gather at LHS for the annual WISH dinner

Kirsten Townander, Staff Member|December 9, 2018

Presents were collected in a closed-off section of the cafeteria, where they were stored for the WISH dinner.

Families and volunteers came together for the WISH dinner on Thursday, Dec. 6. Each second-period class at LHS bought presents for their assigned WISH family, after they raised money by holding various types of fundraisers over the last few months. The Wildcat Initiative for Sharing and Helping dinner is a holiday cheer-spreading tradition at LHS, occurring early December every year.
