Q. Anything else you’d like to add?
A. Our Interact Club is a service organization that is sponsored by the Buckeye Rotary Club. The students who make up the club are very volunteer oriented and work very hard throughout the school year to help as many people/organizations that they can. There are currently 53 members of the club with more joining every week. Some of the things that the club members do are: Andre House once a month (work the soup kitchen), Ronald McDonald House once a quarter.The kids plan a menu, buy the food and then go and cook it for the families that stay at RMH. Other things the club does is:Make a Difference Day, Adopt A Road, Adopt A Family at Christmas, Christmas Angel shopping, work at PIR, Feed My Starving Children and whatever else we are called on todo.Interact Club is one of the greatest things about teaching at EFHS.I really like working with the kids and being so involved in the volunteer opportunities that I get to do by working with them on their projects. |
