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:
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
