"We recognized our eighth grade second-year members and the 22 new members who earned high academic achievement during the first semester this year," she said. 

The eighth grade officers took turns speaking and lighting candles that represented the many characteristics and values of the National Beta Club. 

Taylor Wohlgamuth, a senior psychology major from Ohio Northern University, donated stuffed polar bears to the pediatrics unit at Lima Memorial on Feb. 16.
 
The donation was part Taylor’s involvement in Mortar Board, a national honor society recognizing college seniors for their exemplary scholarship, leadership and service.

Funds were raised through the Reindeer Run, a Christmas-inspired 5K on Ohio Northern’s campus.
 
“My goal was to do something that would help put a smile on the face of children,” stated Wohlgamuth. She felt the local hospitals would be a great outlet to do this.
