Rotary
Read (Quad Club) Charlie Peterson,
CHAIR; Mahin Shahmardian, Monica
Schneider, Gary Turner
Work with a quad club
committee to improve literacy in elementary
school students by:
-
Sponsoring Rotary READ Week
in public, private, and home schools. Rotary
READ Week sets a target for reading
during
the week of 15 minutes per day
outside
of school. If this is achieved
and certified by a parent or guardian,
the student becomes eligible
to receive a $10 book certificate at Barnes
and Noble Booksellers.
-
Bringing
noted children’s
book authors for elementary school and
public library presentations.
-
Presenting
children’s
dictionaries to third grade students
in the Poudre
School District.
These programs are funded by
sale of Buy-One-Get-One-Free
cards for
use
at Pizza Hut and our club Community
Service budget.
Centennial
High School John Carroll,
CHAIR; Tracy Mead, Tom Welsh, Curt
Palin, Susan Peterson
Implement
a new, more obvious presence with the student population,
by working with Bryan Maddox. Consider more funding
and ways in which the students can contribute by working
on club projects. Consider help and support for their
fundraising efforts. Continue Scholarship opportunities
with more involvement from the recipients with the
club. Implement a follow- up model for future scholars.
Consider changing scholarship monies to tuition, instead
of a dollar amount, and whether the club could support
continuation of scholarship for more than one year.
Explore feasibility of sending students to Mexico for
club hands-on activities (coordinate with Tepic club,
could be difficult, but doable). Introduce Centennial
students to Interact club.
