Congratulations to the Webb City High School Graduating Class of 2015!

The Foundation, along with the Webb City community, was saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Nichols. Bob moved to Webb City in 1991 and quickly became a beloved member of the community. He was a strong supporter of the Webb City School District and assisted in the creation of the Foundation in 2003. In 2004, Bob earned the Friend of Education Award from the Southwest Region of the Missouri State Teachers Association for his efforts in lobbying for appropriate funding for public education in Missouri. Ron Lankford, former Webb City Superintendent of Schools, had this to say of Bob, “I had tremendous respect for him. He wasn’t chasing foolish things. He was a visionary and we were blessed to have him come to Webb City, Missouri.”

The Foundation wishes to express sincerest condolences to the Nichols family.

Nancy Spaeth Early Childhood Scholarship

3

Mrs. Beverly Carpenter, a 4th grade teacher at Mark Twain Elementary, gave an assignment to her students to read articles about college. These students decided to sponsor a scholarship for a graduating senior who had attended Mark Twain and then began the task of raising the funds. Thank you to the students of Mrs. Carpenter’s class for your desire to honor a graduating senior!

Mark Twain Carpenters Scholarship

Nancy Spaeth relocated to Webb City in 1977 with her husband, George. Mrs. Spaeth loves children and believes all children deserve a good education. For over 23 years, she has volunteered with the district assisting the teachers of kindergarten students in whatever way she could to help assure each student a successful start to their education. Knowing the importance of education in the early years of a child’s development, she endowed a scholarship through the Foundation to assist graduating students pursuing a degree in Childhood Education. Thank you, Nancy Spaeth, for your investment in the students of Webb City!
