The Kiwanis Club of Wellington continued an annual spring tradition and awarded $1,000 scholarships to three Wellington High School graduates from the Class of 2024 and assisted two scholarship donors in selecting their scholarship awardees.
Receiving Kiwanis Scholarships were Skylar Squire, Drew Denger, and Lucille Roush. Ayla DeLima and Paige Bremke received Sharon and Gary Moore Scholarships, and Harper Fleming was given the Jim and Bonnie Mosher Scholarship.
Kindergarten College Advantage Support
Wellington Kiwanis recently expanded its scholarship efforts by partnering with the Wellington Schools’ Endowment Fund to encourage parents of kindergartners to get an early start on college savings by enrolling in the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority’s College Advantage program. Each year, the Endowment Fund provides up to a 25 percent match not to exceed $250 to each student whose parents contribute to a College Advantage program, also known as a 529 plan, and Kiwanis contributes to increase that match in the kindergarten year. If a parent puts in $1,000, the Endowment Fund contributes $250 into that student’s account. This program has been under-utilized but in the past three years nearly 40 students have had savings programs established under this program that is unique to only Wellington.
Featured sponsors for Wellington Kiwanis Club’s sixth annual Parade of Flags for Flag Day include Small Town Eye Care at Mercy Health; Valley Chevy at Union School Park, and Councilman Keith and Jennifer Rowland at the Town Hall. Season long sponsors are American Legion Post 8 at the Vietnam Memorial on the south lawn of the Town Hall, VFW Post 6941 at the N. Main St. grade separation, and the Wellington Masonic Lodge at Pioneer Cemetery. All told, we have 302 flags waving for Flag Day throughout the village. This year’s campaign has raised about $9,000 for our proposed playground at Union School Park bringing our total to more than $102,000 for the playground. Flags come down after Flag Day, but we will have them back up for Independence Day and our celebration of 250 years as a country. We look forward to the day we have a playground for our children on the south end of town. ... See MoreSee Less
