Kiwanis Donation Boosts Mustang Rewards at Mebane Middle

ALACHUA – Mebane Middle School has received a $1,000 donation from the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe to support its student incentive program, marking the second consecutive year the civic organization has secured grant funding for the school.

Principal Michael Gamble recently accepted the donation on behalf of the school after the Kiwanis Club successfully applied for a Sports Fest grant through the Alachua Chamber of Commerce.

The funds will be used to stock the school’s Mustang Rewards store, a program designed to reinforce positive behavior among students. Teachers award students points or prizes as part of the initiative, encouraging good conduct and academic engagement.

School officials said the additional funding will help ensure the reward store remains well supplied throughout the year, providing meaningful incentives that motivate students.

The Sports Fest grant is part of the Alachua Chamber of Commerce’s community support efforts, which channel proceeds from local events back into area organizations and schools. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe has now secured the grant for Mebane Middle two years in a row, continuing its support of youth-focused initiatives.

The donation was formally presented during a recent visit to the school, where a photo commemorated the occasion with Principal Gamble receiving the check.

Community partnerships such as the one between Mebane Middle School, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe and the Alachua Chamber of Commerce play a role in supplementing school programs and recognizing student achievement beyond the classroom.
