Update - December 17, 2018
The 2018 Leos Holiday House was an overwhelming success! Over 160 kids turned out to shop for their families while enjoying treats and playing fun activities with their families.
A special thank you to everyone who donated items and to the volunteers that made this event happen, including the Spring Lake Park Lions, Leos club and SLP staff.
The Spring Lake Park Holiday House is an annual holiday shopping event, hosted by the Spring Lake Park High School LEOs Club. This event will take place on Thursday, December 13 from 5:30-8 p.m. in the Spring Lake Park High School cafeteria.
Kindergarten through eighth grade shoppers have the opportunity to purchase inexpensive gifts ranging from $1-5 for members of their family.
Each child can purchase up to five gifts. Leo Club and SLP Lions Club members will be on hand to help students purchase and wrap gifts so they can bring them home for the holiday season. Children must be present to shop and be accompanied to the event by an adult. Also, adults and kids will be able to enjoy family friendly activities, holiday treats and music
