Before you know it, the kids will be back in school for another year of learning. The Kiwanis Club of Wellington is raising funds and having a supply drive to provide school supplies for our elementary and middle school children. Please help us provide the new supplies that our kids will need to be successful this coming school year. A trip to Wellington’s Discount Drug Mart in 2023 showed us that the required supplies for a fourth grade student cost between $50 and $60 then. Imagine the total cost today for families with multiple students in elementary and middle school!
Kiwanis will also collect and use monetary donations to purchase supplies in bulk and distribute them at the “Back to School Bash” on August 9 at the McCormick Middle School Gymnasium.
The supplies you purchase should be from the 2025-26 supply lists for each grade level. New supplies from these lists can be dropped off until noon August 8 at the following locations:
Today, Thursday, Sept. 11, is Patriot Day. We honor and remember the nearly 3,000 victims from that horrific day 24 years ago when the United States was attacked. Our featured Patriot Day sponsors are two well-established, Wellington-based business -- McLoughlin Carpet Cleaning and U.S. Screen, whose flag displays are located at the at the Village Town Hall and Union School Park, respectively. We also recognize American Legion Post 8 at the Vietnam Memorial, VFW Post 6941 at Duke Pride Hill at Barb O’Keefe Way (North Main St. underpass) and Wellington Masonic Lodge #127 at Pioneer Cemetery on W. Herrick Ave. We have 276 flags flying throughout town as part of Kiwanis’ Parade of Flags. All proceeds are earmarked for playground equipment. To date, more than $85,000 has been saved by Kiwanis for this village project. ... See MoreSee Less
