Ready for the First Day of School: Newport Rotary Project


Newport Rotary gets the front entrance to Newport Elementary School looking spiffy. School staff loved the flowers and finely manicured shrubs when they showed up for school on Tuesday morning. Newport Rotary Project signs were completed and placed on Tuesday. The school front office staff has diligently been watering the flowers, and they are blooming, even in this heat! New Newport Elementary Principal Jody McClenny says "thank you".
