CARDINGTON FFA

Lights put up

The village of Cardington is glowing with Christmas lighting. Adding to the beauty, two groups have placed lights at the district’s two school facilities.

The Cardington-Lincoln FFA, under the guidance of advisor Erin Wollett, decorated a portion of the area in front of the high school with Christmas lights and the fourth grade students of Lori Levings, assisted by Wollett and the FFA students set a wood crafted tree adorned with lights at the elementary school on Nichols Street.

The tree was made by Cardington resident Jack Edgell and Rita Castle, also a Cardington resident, created wreaths for the district building entry ways.

Speaking on behalf of the Cardington-Lincoln Board of Education, member Quinn Maceyko thanked all those responsible for the decorations.

Adopting families

The Cardington FFA Chapter participated in a community service project on Dec. 3 by adopting families for Christmas. That evening, 15 Cardington FFA members shopped online for five local families in the community.

Usually, the chapter would take about 40 youngsters and visit a Walmart to shop but due to Covid-19, the chapter shopped virtually this year.

Later, on Dec. 22, the chapter delivered gifts to the families while following Covid-19 guidelines. The chapter is grateful to serve our community and ready to assume more community service projects.
