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.
The LCCC Fall Fest is underway and Wellington Kiwanis is distributing free bicycle helmets to prevent head trauma. We size each child to ensure proper fit. Parents or guardian must be present. The fall fest goes until 7 pm. Stop out and see all the public displays. Bread-Brew is serving food. ... See MoreSee Less
