The Kiwanis Club of Wellington continued an annual spring tradition and awarded four $1,000 scholarships to Wellington High School graduates from the Class of 2023. This year’s recipients include: Alaina Collins, Maya Feron, Kennedy Jerousek and Marshall Mull,
Alaina plans to attend the University of Akron and get a BS in nursing. She was FFA president, Key Club president and a class officer.
Maya will attend Georgetown University and major in international politics and Arabic. She is currently an admissions ambassador for the Georgetown Scholars Program. She was a class officer and on Student Council.
Marshall has enrolled at Otterbein University and major in actuary science and accounting. He was involved in FFA, acheived the rank of Eagle in Boy Scouts, and student council. He played football and track.
Kindergarten Scholarships
We recently expanded our 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, they provide up to a 25 percent match not to exceed $250 to each student whose parents contribute to the College Advantage program. If a parent puts in $1,000, the endowment contributes $250 into that student’s account. This program had 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 third annual Wellington Kiwanis Parade of Flags is underway as we honor those who gave their lives serving our country this Memorial Day weekend. We placed about 190 flags in residents' yards and in front of the Town Hall, around the Vietnam Memorial and Union School Park. Thanks to John and Amy Kiley of Kiley Tree Service for sponsoring the 20 flags in front of the Town Hall and Steve Neff of the Wellington Music Store for sponsoring the flags at Union School Park. The American Legion Post 8 is sponsoring the flags at the Vietnam Memorial for each of the five patriotic holidays in 2023. New this year is placing individual sponsored flags on Duke Pride Hill on the north side of the Wellington underpass on N. Main St., also known as O'Keefe Way for former mayor Barb O'Keefe. We are still taking subscriptions to have flags placed in front yards for the next four holidays, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans' Day. The cost will be prorated at $24, but we will gladly accept the full donation of $30 for the year. All proceeds go to our Playground Fund. #kids Need Kiwanis! ... See MoreSee Less
