Have you seen Junior's Grades? They're a whole lot better thanks to the Rincon Rotary.

Have you seen Junior's Grades? They're a whole lot better thanks to the Rincon Rotary.

Danielle Othon at Elvira Elementary wanted to ignite her 5th graders ESL students with love of reading by making books more accessible, putting learning at their fingertips, using the website Raz-Kids. The Rincon Rotary stepped up and paid for a one year subscription to help her get started.

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.

To find out more about Rotary LOCAL and how it may be able to help you, go to rotarylocal.org. Primary support for Rotary LOCAL comes from the Rincon Rotary's annual fundraiser, The Tucson Taste of Chocolate.
