SES K-kids Food Drive for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner continues.
At Stevenson Elementary, FRC Coordinator, Mrs. Carol Kees, is the Advisor for a group called K-kids. This stands for Kiwanis Kids. This program helps teach students to volunteer and give back to the community. Tera Ragland stated my daughter was in K-kids and LOVED it…she looks forward to being in it again if asked. In order for SES to have K-kids, the Russellville Logan County Kiwanis Club pays for Mrs. Kees’ membership and pays for the membership of the K-kids. It was such a huge success at SES, they have agreed to extend it to Russellville Jr. High which would include another adult membership for the sponsor. In addition to the K-kids program, the Russellville Kiwanis Club does a great deal more for our community. This includes, but is not exclusive to: a college scholarship for one RJSHS and one LCHS student each year; sending an RJSHS Sophomore to the Hugh Obrien Leadership Conference every year, and sponsoring other youth-related activities in our area. Once again this year, under the direction of Mrs. Carol Kees, the K-Kids are helping sponsor a food drive for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. This program fed over 1000 people in Russellville and Logan County last year, providing a traditional Thanksgiving meal either by delivery or “come as you are” to one of the area hosts. The food drive will be from Tuesday, November 1, through Friday, November 11, with the Community Thanksgiving Dinner committee providing a pizza party to the homeroom with the most items collected. Collection boxes have been delivered to homerooms. When you see a member of the Kiwanis Club, please thank them for their support of our kids and community.
