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.
On Veterans Day 2026 we salute all those who served in the armed forces. And Wellington Kiwanis honors our veterans with our Parade of Flags and 306 U.S. flags waving throughout our village. Our featured sponsors include Expert Crane at Mercy Health on N. Main St.; Councilman Gary and Tracey Feron for the Town Hall display; and Mayor Hans Schneider and his wife Wendy for the 20-flag display at Union School Park. We also thank our season long sponsors, the American Legion for the Vietnam Memorial on the south lawn of the Town Hall, the Wellington/Oberlin Memorial VFW Post 6941 for the display on Duke Pride Hill at O'Keefe Way on N. Main St., and the Wellington Masonic Lodge for the display at Pioneer Cemetery along W. Herrick Ave. All proceeds are set aside for a playground at Union School Park on S. Main St. The fund has topped $100,000. Thank you Wellington. ... See MoreSee Less
