FAIRBORN Senior Vivianne Mellon of Fairborn High School has received the Leo of the Year award from the Ohio division of Lions Club International. Mellon, who leads the Fairborn High School Leo Club as president, has more than 200 hours of service to the organization.
The Leo of the Year award is available to any current Leo club member who is in good standing, meets membership age requirements, has all the required endorsements, and is not a previous recipient. Each multiple district (state of Ohio) or single district may nominate one Leo per year. Leo Club advisor and and Fairborn alumnus Robert Borger nominated Mellon for the prestigious award.

Kids were able to come back to Barnard today to pick up holiday gifts. And not only that, because the schools have been fully remote all year long, they were able to get school awards too.
