Spring 2012
Recent events in Chardon have weighed heavily on the minds of Wickliffe alumni. Those who are directly involved in Chardon, those who remember the events at the Wickliffe Middle School, and those who were just genuinely impacted by the tragedy that unfolded. I was contacted by a few alumni who want to do something special for the Chardon community. If you want to be involved in this endeavor, please contact me and I will share your ideas with the other alumni so a plan can be developed.
WSAA had a successful Super Bowl Chinese Auction and Basket Raffle this past February. Many thanks to the co-chairs Sue Skufca Bell and Lori Ondecko whose hard work and planning made it a success. Thank you also to other committee members Mark Cline and Gloria Whitmer Majeski, members of the WSAA Board and volunteers who worked the floor, the Middle School PATT who provided a concession stand, the generous donors who provided good and services and to all those who attended. We are planning next year’s event, so look for the date at the website in the Fall. The monies raised are used for scholarships and the general fund of maintaining the WSAA.
The next event the WSAA will be involved in is WHS Senior Awards Night. The event takes place Thursday, May 24th. WSAA provides six $500 scholarships to applicants (current graduating seniors from WHS) and refreshments after the event. The application can be found at the Wickliffe Schools website, www.wickliffeschools.org or by contacting Scholarship chairperson, Jim Campbell @ jim.campbell@hilton.com. New for this year, the application must be typed.
Applications are still being accepted for the 2012 Achievement Hall of Fame. Deadline is April 29, 2012. The application can be found here at the website along with more information.
Upcoming events: Annual Alumni Golf Outing on Monday, August 6th; Ice Cream Social and Train Rides at Penitentiary Glen on Sunday, August 19th; 2012 Achievement Hall of Fame; All Alumni Night, Friday October 19th. If you are interested in helping out or attending, look at the “Contact Us” page for committee members to contact.
There are many reunions in the planning stages, so keep checking the event calendar at the website and Facebook to stay up to date.
