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 Hope Dudziak, Jaclyn Krakomperger, and Alexandria Peck (pictured below). McKenna Solkiewicz and Isabella Waters received Sharon and Gary Moore Scholarships, and Sophia Palmison was given the WHS Class of ’64 Scholarship.
Kindergarten Scholarships
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, 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.
Third-stringer Terry Bradshaw filled in admirably as the keynote speaker at the Kiwanis International Convention after Henry Winkler and Martin Sheen both had to cancel. He wove hilarious stories about Dallas Cowboys legends Roger Staubauch, Tom Rafferty, and Tom Landry with other stories about his teammates - and tied it all in with Kiwanis’ mission to improve the world one child and one community at a time. Carol and Brian Burke are representing Wellington Kiwanis at ICON in Pittsburgh this week. #KidsNeedKiwanis... See MoreSee Less
Wellington Hot Stove does a good job promoting its sponsors. It was pretty cool to be in North Ridgeville this past weekend and see the Wellington Legends Hot Stove team banner hanging from the fence with the sponsors highlighted below. Thanks to record-breaking Morris Furcron Memorial Petersen Nut Sales, Wellington Kiwanis has been able to sponsor programs like Hot Stove, Wellington Soccer, Junior Fair, Well-Help and even the inaugural Dynamic Duke Handshake luncheon last month. Kiwanis is all about Kids! Other sponsors include Dan Gossman Allstate Insurance, Country View Auto Recycling, John Dovin and J & D Farms Transportation, J.C. Insurance, KTS Equipment, the Wellington Fraternal Order of Eagles, Discount Drug Mart, Miller Farms, Forest City Technologies, Davis & Sons Milk Transport, and Harrison Ford. Wellington is fortunate to have supportive businesses and organizations to help our children. ... See MoreSee Less
