With the end of the school year nearing, Wapakoneta Middle School Student Council members are hoping to end their term on a positive note.
During the school year, the school government raised nearly $2,300 for various local and area organizations.
“Each year, we try and raise as much money as we can for various clubs and organizations that we vote on and decide to help support at the beginning of the school year,” Wapakoneta Middle School Student Council President Neal Maxson said.
Elected a Student Council representative of his homeroom, Maxson, a seventh-grade student, said this is his second year serving on the council. This year as president, his main responsibility is to set forth an agenda and preside over the group’s monthly meetings which are held the first and third Thursday of each month.
“I joined the Student Council because I was looking for a new activity to do and thought it’d be challenging experience,” Maxson said. “Politics have always been one of the things to stick out in my head and when I grow up, I want to be a lawyer.
“Overall, as president I think I have done a pretty good job,” he said. “Being president is a lot harder than what I thought it would be since I have to make the agendas, run the meetings, and keep the advisers in the loop. I have the whole weight of the council on my shoulders, and at times it can get frustrating, but I would recommend it to all the kids coming to the middle school next year because it’s a fun activity to be involved in.”

A Harrod man remained in fair condition Wednesday after crashing his motorcycle into a deer on Interstate 75 early Tuesday morning.
Danny Williams, 55, was driving a Harley Electraglide south on I-75 near mile marker 113 in Duchouquet Township when he hit the deer that entered the road from the west, according to a report from the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Williams lost control of the motorcycle and laid it down. He was ejected.
The bike came to rest in the median. It sustained severe damage.
Williams was transported by Wapakoneta Rescue Squad to Lima Memorial Hospital, where a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday afternoon he was in fair condition. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Wapakoneta safety services also responded.
He was driving approximately 60 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone.
