Interact Club members embrace the Rotary "Service Above Self" mission to create a positive, supportive environment in our school, district, and community. Open to any student, our group meets twice a month before school and one RPT per month (and as needed for special projects). We are a unique high school club, and members have many opportunities for volunteering. As a result, members have excellent experiences to reference in resumes and applications. One of our main projects includes welcoming new students--providing welcome bags, giving first-day tours, and hosting one New Student Meet & Greet each trimester during RPT to connect with new students and exchange students. We conduct service projects to promote kindness and build awareness about issues such as bullying, teen dating violence, and mental health--as well as fundraise and write grants to complete a larger impact project each year, such as “flipping” a room at The Family Center and installing a “Breather Bench” around a tree in front of LHS. Through outreach, we help jumpstart kindness clubs at local elementary schools. Toward the end of the year, we work with counselors and community resources to host a Mental Health Resource Fair and bring student performers and artists together for our “Rise to Remember” variety show event. Students who are interested can check us out on social media and email an advisor to be added to our club Canvas course, which houses all agendas, announcements, and sign-ups for events.
Please contact co-advisors Ms. Kozlowski and Ms. VanDeHey for questions.
