Developing Community Service Habits in Young Students

The Early Act Club – 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th grade students at Grand Island's Huth Rd School (one of two Early Act Clubs sponsored by Grand Island Rotary) showed a wonderful start toward interest in community service, by collecting snacks for pediatric patients at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Rotary, a world-wide organization, emphasizing Service Above Self as its motto, is proud to sponsor Early Act Clubs which encourage youth to begin thinking community service. These students were particularly happy with the mound of snack bags collected from Huth Rd School families, and at the end of March delivered them to the pediatric floor of the Cancer Institute – hoping those bags brightened the day of kids fighting cancer, as much as a snack bag brightens their day coming home from school! To further encourage the Early Act students, we have supplied them with distinctive Tee shirts! Thanks, Mary Haggerty and Kerri Nowak for your efforts with these Early Act clubs.
