The Kiwanis Club of Winnfield made presentations in January to the “Terrific Kids” at parish schools for the month of December. The local club has been involved with this uplifting program for students grades Pre-K through Grade 4 for over 25 years. It’s not just grade-structured but a pat on the back for all-around citizenship, with teachers rather than Kiwanians making the selection of the worthy children. Each child personally receives a certificate, a gift packet and a tee shirt from club members who go to the schools monthly.
