25 YEARS FOR UNITED RURITEENS:
As part of our end of year awards assembly for high school underclassmen this morning, Mr. John Biery presented a certificate celebrating the twenty-fifth year for the United Ruriteen student club. Mr. Biery is affiliated with the Goshen Center Ruritan Club in North Benton and came on behalf of the National Ruritan Club to recognize United’s student club. The Ruritan is a rural community service organization of adults who strive to strengthen their communities through service. Joining in the recognition of the 25-year mark was Jim Means, president of the Guilford Lake Area Ruritan, of which United’s student Ruriteen club is affiliated. Mr. Means also played an instrumental role in the establishment of the United Ruriteens when the club was founded in 1998. Mr. Biery and Mr. Means are pictured along with United Ruriteen students and their advisor, Ms. Betty Whiteleather.
Today is Armed Forces Day and we would like to thank all our former students and community members who have served! Thank you!
