Lewis School of Princeton to hold annual 'Tree of Light' event Dec. 3
Tweet
The Lewis School of Princeton will host its 36th annual “Tree of Light” Celebration on Thursday, Dec. 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Nassau Club of Princeton.
Attendees can still expect the same traditions offered every year—delicious gourmet foods and beverages, a Lewis Choir holiday concert, as well as a silent auction and a newly added live auction. Tickets to the celebration are set at $35 per person and are available for purchase at www.lewisschool.org. All proceeds will benefit The Lewis School’s Annual Fund.
The tree lighting, which is free and open to the public, will immediately follow the event at The Nassau Club.
The tree will be lit at approximately 9:30 p.m. at The Lewis School. Guests are urged to dress warmly as they will not be able to go inside the school. Lawrenceville native Katie Lewis-LaMonica, a 1996 Lewis alumna and 2008 Princeton University graduate will be the honored speaker at the tree lighting.
The true meaning of The Lewis School’s “Tree of Light” has inspired people all over the world.
Students are proud to explain to anyone who asks about the tree that each light shines as symbols of hope and encouragement for learning different persons like themselves. They point out that the tree is not a Christmas tree; it has no star or decorations. It only has lights that shine for the more than 30 million Americans who are struggling with learning and literacy—those whose “gifts and great promise” have never been recognized; those who have been left behind.
Each year, the Lewis School students, faculty and parents strive to raise greater awareness of those students who have not yet found the educational opportunity they need to realize their potential and fulfill their dreams.
The “Tree of Light” is a celebration to be shared by all who care enough to want to affect change for the better in the world—especially in the lives of the children who are the future.
