Student Directors Kyson Clark, Katelyn Davis, and Grace Sneed with Sherry Passmore
This week at Carmi Kiwanis, Sherry Passmore shared a snippet of her drama students performing their upcoming play, Matilda, next weekend. This year’s fall play student directors are Katelyn Davis, Kyson Clark, and Grace Sneed. Cast members joined them and gave a glimpse of three songs set to hit the stage, including “When I Grow Up.” The students proudly announced performances on Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21, at 6:30 pm, and Sunday, November 22, at 2:30 pm.
More good news from CWC came from Jefferson Attendance Center Principal Lacey Moore. She shared with Kiwanis members that the school received the State of Illinois’ top summative designation of exemplary status and made the list of Illinois’ top elementary schools. Moore gave sincere credit to the teachers and staff at JAC for their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice over the years.
Moore also brought with her the Most Valuable Bullpup third graders for the first quarter: Emmi Short, Chesney Wring, Ryder Williams, Grayson Wolff, Kori Mitchell, and Huck Weiss.
To end Kiwanis, Amy McCarty shared information about Hunters Feeding Illinois. With bow season already underway and shotgun season just around the corner, hunters can donate a deer to a processor at no cost or contribute $100 toward processing. One deer provides approximately 50-60 pounds of ground venison. Hunters in White County can drop off deer at these processors in the program: Birkner’s Processing in McLeansboro, Sanchez Meat Processing in Du Quoin, The Flock Farm and Triple C Meats in Anna, Shirley Farms Meat Processing in De Soto, and R & M Meat Processing in Ellis Grove.
