Mary Bookman, treasurer of the Lebanon Lions Club and a teacher in the district, presented an $800 donation to Lebanon City Schools on May 20 to support vision exams and new glasses for students.
"We have a check for $800 that we want to donate for boys and girls, to have vision exams and new glasses," Bookman said during a special recognition portion of the meeting, describing the Lions Club’s eyeglass collection program and the club’s partnership with school nurses to identify students in need.
Sheryl Brown, Lions Club president and high school Leo Club advisor, described additional club efforts including scholarships for student Leos, senior visits at a local low-income senior housing facility and a plastics-collection program that funds benches. Superintendent Isaac thanked the club for the donation and asked to schedule a photo with the board.
The board accepted the recognition and thanked the Lions Club for ongoing community support of Lebanon City Schools students.
