NEW PALESTINE – Southern Hancock schools were recently recognized for being a Riley Red Wagon Corporation.

The designation was celebrated at the Jan. 10 meeting of the school board.

All building principals and Superintendent Lisa Lantrip were honored by Riley Hospital for Children. Schools are designated as Red Wagon Schools if the building raises $1 for each enrolled student. Corporations are designated as Red Wagon Corporations if each school is designated a Red Wagon School. Southern Hancock has raised more than $109,000 for Riley Hospital in the last 20 years.

Also at the meeting, the board recognized Hancock Physician Network for providing COVID-19 testing for Southern Hancock students and staff.

The board’s next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7 at New Palestine Junior High School.
