The Streator Hardscrabble Lions Club is completing their second installment of school supplies to Streator's Northlawn Junior High School. Teacher's of Northlawn along with other staff members identified items that students in need would be required to have to attain academic success. Supplies, also included personal hygiene items for general classroom needs. A check for $200 was presented to Northlawn's representative, 5th grade teacher Stephanie Flores, to be utilized for any other supplies or services they might need. Some personal hygiene items were donated by Dr. Brendon Graham of the Streator Family Dental and other community persons. This project is in keeping with the club's philosophy of helping the residents of the community in need of eye and hearing care, as well as helping children to succeed.
