Lions Do Vision Screenings

The Lions Clubs have been hard at work doing vision screenings this month. The Hiawatha Lions Club did vision screenings at Happy Days Preschool, Happy Hearts Day Care, Little Hands Preschool, the Kickapoo Head Start program, and the Kickapoo Nation School (All grades). These screenings are provided free as a community service. If the reader knows of any Day Care or Preschool that could utilize these services, contact Lion president Ron Stair at 913-530-0741.

Lions welcome new teachers

On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the day before school started, a delegation of the Hiawatha Lions Club welcomed, thanked and passed out teacher appreciation gifts to the new teachers in the district. The gifts were red cups filled with candy and coupons to use at local businesses. The Lions hope to make the new teachers feel welcomed and a part of the community. By showing such kindness, the Lions hope these new teachers will want to stay in our community long term and continue to serve our children. For those teachers whom the Lions couldn’t catch in their rooms, they left the gift that had a note in it indicating it was from the Lions Club.
