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:
The village that proudly boasts Archibald Willard and his iconic “The Spirit of 76’ painting, had a record 272 U.S. flags waving throughout Wellington as part of Kiwanis’ fifth annual Parade of Flags. We salute the Wellington Eagles and Wellington implement for having 10 flags set in front of their establishments. Our featured July 4th sponsors include Council President Gene Hartman and Beth Hannon with 20 flags in front of the Town Hall and Mayor Hans Schneider at Union School Park. The mayor started the 20-flag sponsorships, and it has grown to include the America Legion at the Vietnam Memorial on the south lawn of the Town Hall, the hill at Barb O’Keefe Way on North Main St., and the Wellington Masonic Lodge on W. Herrick Ave. All proceeds go towards Kiwanis’ Playground Fund, which has reached $75,000. Thank You Wellington. ... See MoreSee Less
