Pick up a pretty piece of jewelry from , 314 Canal St. (closed Monday, but open at 11 a.m. Tuesday); a nice wine from , 439 Talcott Ave.; or even a delicious dessert from , 316 Canal St.

Keep it sweet and simple—remember, it's the thought that counts.

Target and Kohl's are local too, they are also Lemont businesses. Deja Vu Rack might also be another spot to pick up something nice.

I should have worded it differently. I'm all for shopping at Kohl's and Target (probably my favorite place to shop), but I was talking about Lemont's small businesses—the ones that can really benefit from local shoppers.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm with Amanda on this...SHOP SMALL! as in our local small businesses. Too many have closed their doors recently.

Was there ever a time when a full day was offered Jennifer? I was in kindergarten at Oakwood aboutRead More 28 years ago and even then it was half day. If you want full day Kate, St Pats/St Al's, St Cyril's, and I'm sure others are full day.
Catherine Stukel June 11, 2013 at 01:58 pm
Let's get real. It is NOT a half day. It is 2.5 hours. By the time kids into class, sing a song,Read More have a snack and pee, they are done for the day. Sorry. Calling a spade a spade on this one.

Is this question really from a teacher? Full-day kindergarTen has a lot of fillers too: they eatRead More lunch, go outside, go to the bathroom, etc. I don't think our public schools allow snacks in the classroom anyway. Any teacher would know that learning starts at home, and a teacher would know how to supplement a kindergarten curriculum.
