 To the editor:Lincoln
Woman’s Club would like to thank the Logan County schools who
supported our recent scholarship fundraiser. Five schools ordered
“Congratulations Graduate” signs to recognize and honor their newly
graduated students.
Working with Lincoln Printers, the signs were produced in the
school’s colors and featured a photo of each student. LWC members
planted the Lincoln Community High School graduates' signs on Wyatt
Avenue on the day of the Graduate’s Parade where they would be
visible as the students made the final turn approaching the high
school.
Many of the new graduates enjoyed posing by the
signs after the parade’s end before taking them home. Zion Lutheran
School displayed their signs on the school driveway for several days
to honor their graduates before students took them home to their own
yards.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
Faculty and staff at Lincoln Junior High School, West
Lincoln-Broadwell, and Carroll Catholic delivered the signs
personally to the 8 th grade graduates’ homes.
It was truly a win-win situation where the schools were able to
recognize and honor their students in this first and hopefully last
quarantine graduation season, and the Lincoln Woman’s Club could
raise funds to support local scholarships, the Lincoln Woman’s Club
literacy program, veteran’s Christmas stockings, and other community
activities.
Thank you to Lincoln Community High School, West Lincoln-Broadwell,
Zion Lutheran, Carroll Catholic and Lincoln Junior High School for
supporting this project. Congratulations to the graduating classes
of 2020.
Judy Rader, Lincoln Woman’s Club President [Posted
