Lansing Student Council Holding Preschool Toy Drive!
Student Council across the school district is excited to launch a new initiative. From now until March 15th, Lansing StuCo is sponsoring a district wide Preschool Toy Drive. We are accepting new or gently used toys for our littlest lions, and we’d really appreciate any donations your families can make. All donations can be dropped off at the main office of LHS, LMS, LIS or LES.
If you’d rather stay bundled up at home this winter, we’re also accepting GoFundMe donations (https://gofund.me/6b6dd534), or you can order toys online and ship them to LHS STUCO at 1412 147th St Lansing, KS 66048. Our goal is to collect 200 items (or the equivalent of $2000). Our Preschool population has grown from two to eight classes in the last year and a half. With this large growth in such a short span of time, our littlest lions are in need of toys that create positive peer interactions and offer enrichment opportunities. We appreciate the support of our district and the quality education they provide for our students, and we’d love for you to have a big impact on our preschool aged students through donating fun and engaging toys!
