Rotary Club of Warren County host County & Western event to benefit E.Wilson Morrison and Ressie Jefferies Elementary Schools
The Rotary Club of Warren County is purchasing two “BookWorm” vending machines for E.Wilson Morrison and Ressie Jefferies Elementary schools in Front Royal. These machines work by rewarding kids for good behavior, grades, and attendance. The Rotary Club wants to bring engagement and excitement to reading books again!
The Rotary Club of Warren is a small club with a big heart. They have completed many projects in our community. To name just a few:
- Linden Park Playground;
- Van for the Shenandoah Area for the Aging;
- Greenhouse for Blue Ridge Opportunities;
- Renovations to the Phoenix Project building;
- Renovations to the playground at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary
The club also participates in international projects through grants to improve living conditions in many third-world countries, as well as supporting education in underdeveloped countries and has participated in projects to improve conditions for young women in those countries.
The club is also deeply vested in our community’s youth through sponsoring Interact clubs at Skyline High School, Skyline Middle School, and Randolph-Macon Academy Middle School. Also, an Early Act club started at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School and is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Warren County. They also give three one-thousand-dollar scholarships each year to seniors at Skyline High School. This year they plan to reach out to home school and private school students and offer them the opportunity to participate in these youth service clubs.
