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 15 at the McCormick Middle School Gymnasium.
The supplies you purchase should be from the 2026-27 supply lists for each grade level. New supplies from these lists can be dropped off until noon August 13 at the following locations:

Main St. has never looked better as we commemorate Patriot Day with Kiwanis Club's Parade of Flags. A nice touch with the blue outline which accents the fact we have Oberlin students playing for Wellington. The VFW sponsors the flags on the hill throughout the year. Go Dukes! ... See MoreSee Less
