CECILTON â While the Lions Club has been a presence in Cecilton for decades, their gift to the elementary school is their largest to date according to Ken Cowley.
âEspecially in a year where we couldnât do any fundraisers,â Cowley said. Cecilton Lions paid $16,000 for the sign, now erected at the entrance to Cecilton Elementary School for all to see as they drive past on West Main Street.
Monday morning the Cecilton Lions Club officially presented the lighted signboard to the school. Jeffrey Lawson, superintendent of Cecil County Public Schools, was both thrilled and humbled by the gift.
âThese signs are not high on everyoneâs radar because they are so expensive,â Lawson said. âTo have a group like the Lions Club volunteer and do it all from start to finish was just amazing.â

ELKTON â More than 1,600 Cecil County Public Schools staff members have received at least the first of two COVID-19 vaccine doses. The vaccinations, along with Gov. Larry Hogan lifting some COVID restrictions, have led to questions about whether CCPS will expand its reopening to four days per week of in-person classes for all students.
Many teachers, however, have mixed feelings about the possibility of more in-person classes.
Lori Hrinko, the Cecil County Classroom Teachers Association (CCCTA) president, said more face-to-face courses would make social distancing impossible.
A survey distributed by the CCCTA to teachers Wednesday morning received 1,048 responses by that eveningâs school board meeting, and the response was mixed â 42 percent felt safe or very safe about expanding the opening, but 58 percent responded that they felt only partially safe or not safe at all, with 24 percent in the latter group.
