Central Elementary School supported by St. John UCC

 

[April 13, 2019]    Jim and Leslie Wilmert from St. John United Church of Christ Outreach Ministry delivered a box of supplies to Central Elementary School of District 27, Lincoln for the teachers to have access to for their students needs.

The supplies were accepted for the teachers by Kelly Bogdanic, principal of the school.

The Outreach Ministry has added Central Elementary to its support of teachers who have for years funded the needs of students who have difficulty in acquiring the supplies they are required for their classes.

St. John UCC has supported Lincoln Junior High School teachers for several years. In both instances the teachers supply a list of the most needed articles and members of the ministry go shopping and deliver to their storage closet.

Funds for most of the shopping is acquired through SJUCC fundraisers several times a year at Culver’s Restaurant the 3rd Sunday of their chosen month.

Other projects the ministry is involved with include the Narcan and Safe Passages Initiative of the LPD and sippy cups and utensils for the Logan County Health Department. Funds for the latter have been received and items are ordered for delivery in the near future.
