Rincon Rotary modernizes the listening center at Fruchthendler Elementary School.

Rincon Rotarian James Mandolini delivers an mp3 listening center to Cassandra Konrath, Erin Standish, and the first grade students of Fruchthendler Elementary School.

Fruchthendler Elementary School's first grade team needed to upgrade their listening centers from antiquated cassette tapes which were difficult to maintain and didn't support recent literature. The Rincon Rotary was excited to help this important reading program modernize and fufilled the grant through it's Rotary LOCAL program.

Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary Local Program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary Local can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance.
