“Caring and Sharing” was the theme at North Daviess R-3 in Jameson, last Thursday and Friday.
Through a generous donation provided by the Beth Wheeler Legacy Fund, each family in the school district received a free ham, along with a monetary donation of $200 per family. These gifts were distributed in conjunction with the monthly Campus Cupboard items.
Beth Wheeler attended school in Jameson (Class of ’74) and was very active in the community her entire life. Beth worked for the University Extension 4-H in several counties, served two terms on the Missouri House of Representatives before joining the staff of Governor Mel Carnahan. Beth left the political scene and worked at both Northwest Missouri State University and Missouri State University, before retiring in 2012. Beth loved helping and pulling people together. She passed away in 2017.
School Secretary, Ruth Lewis helps hand out hams and cash gifts.
Since her passing, an anonymous donor contributed funds to continue her legacy. It is because of Beth’s example and the example of others that the family wishes to pay it forward to her beloved school and community. ~ Submitted by Elaine Bohannon
