Service Project: First Day of School Cleanup


Newport Rotarians organized and invited its members and friends to join new Newport Elementary School Principal Richard Paylor in "sprucing up" the garden beds in the front of the school just in time for the arrival of staff and students in the coming weeks. It was a great way to introduce Newport Rotary to their new elementary school principal after years of conducting projects at the school. Newport Rotary conducts the Dictionary Project giveaway of free dictionaries to all school third graders annually, organizes the Halloween Hootenanny in which the students participate, and have conducted numerous hands-on, joint service projects with individual classes over the years. Participating were Town Mayor Derryl Garner, Grocer Joe Garner, Attorney Bevin Wall, Spa Owner Pam Wall, Law Enforcement Officer Jack Askew, Realtor RuthAnn Sluss, Retired Col. Hal Clark, and guest McKenzie Wall. Thanks to the Town of Newport for donating the mulch!
