Rappahannock Lions Club
Rappahannock County, Virginia
Leos - The Young Lions
Rappahannock County High School students established a Leo Club in 2004. It has been a strong representation of the Lions Club and its guiding principles since then.
The Rappahannock Leos perform a number of community services, geared primarily to support of the County school system and in pursuit of the students' interests. They collect eyeglasses, deliver them to the Lion Recycling Center in Fauquier County, and work with the Center to identify eyeglass prescriptions and sort them appropriately. They collect school supplies for the needy at the beginning of the school year, and canned goods during the Christmas holiday season. During the 2006-7 school year, they conducted an after-school trash pickup on the RCHS campus, designed and implemented a plastics recycyling program for the high school, and raised $1,500 for leukemia relief. During the 2007-8 school year, the Leos sponsored and supported a team at the Relay for Life, and conducted a "Feed Bowl" program with the Art Club to raise funds for charitable food programs.
The Leo Officers for the 2010-2011 school year were:
- President - Ms. Brittany Stevens
- Vice-President - Ms. Emily Williams
- Treasurer - Mr. Danny Collins
- Secretary - Ms. Sarah Wheatley
- Faculty Sponsor - Ms. Pamela Chovnik-Moore
- Lion Liaison to the Leos - Ms. Alexandra Taylor
Any high school student who wishes to join the Leos should contact any of the four officers or the faculty sponsor listed above.
