Building a better community

the good quality program hosted by Wa-Nee Community Schools and the dedication of the girls participating in it. Coach Lengacher states that each cheerleader gives 110% dedication as well as hard work and determination. It is that combination which recently earned both the varsity and JV squads third place trophies at Six Flags Great America, Illinois. Each group went up against 14 other cheerleading squads from throughout the nation to earn the honors. Tara looks forward to continuing with the cheerleading program at Wa-Nee Community Schools. Outside of her full and part-time jobs Tara also finds time to volunteer her talents to civic clubs. She is the chairperson of the annual Rotary Easter Egg Hunt and cochairs the junior Olympics for that group. As such she helps organize both events and the volunteers who help make them possible.

Lengacher has been a Rotary Club member since 1993. She is also the corresponding secretary for Psi lota Xi. Tara directs that group’s committee for the annual House of Holly. The fundraiser is held each year during the Christmas holidays and benefits the speech and hearing research at Riley Hospital. Psi lota Xi is also responsible for sponsoring hearing tests for preschoolers each year. The sorority even donated computers to the local elementaries specifically programed for special speech and hearing exercises. Tara is also affiliated with the Current Club and attends the United Methodist Church, downtown Nappanee.
