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 Skylar Squire, Drew Denger, and Lucille Roush. Ayla DeLima and Paige Bremke received Sharon and Gary Moore Scholarships, and Harper Fleming was given the Jim and Bonnie Mosher Scholarship.
Kindergarten College Advantage Support
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, also known as a 529 plan, 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.
Tuesday is Veterans Day and Wellington collectively salutes our citizens who have served in the armed forces with a display of 270-plus U.S. flags throughout the village. Special displays include the VFW sponsored flags on Duke Pride Hill on O’Keefe Way at the North Main St. underpass, American Legion Post 8 at the Vietnam Memorial, Councilman Gary and Tracy Feron on the Town Hall Lawn, Mayor Hans Schneider at Union School Park, the Wellington Masonic Lodge at Pioneer Cemetery on West Herrick Ave.; the community donations at NN Inc. on West Herrick, and the 10-flag displays on S. Main St. by Wellington Implement and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. This concludes the Wellington Kiwanis Club’s fifth annual parade of flags. It is the first time we have had snow. All proceeds go towards the playground fund for Union School Park, which has grown to $85,000. Thank you, Wellington, for your support. ... See MoreSee Less
