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 Hope Dudziak, Jaclyn Krakomperger, and Alexandria Peck (pictured below). McKenna Solkiewicz and Isabella Waters received Sharon and Gary Moore Scholarships, and Sophia Palmison was given the WHS Class of ’64 Scholarship.
Kindergarten Scholarships
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, 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.
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
