Club Provides Teacher Supplies for a Second Year

Newport Rotarians provided $2,000 in teacher supplies to Clara's Closet at Newport Elementary School on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 for the Fall 2023 semester. The school supply closet contains items that teacher usually pay out-of-pocket for during the school year. Teachers were surveyed for the items they most needed.   

The project continues Newport Rotary, Rotary Foundation grant and funds from the Wall family supported project from last year providing over $6,000 in teacher supplies. This year Bread & Barley church also donated some items and several additional grants are being sought. 

Thanks Pres. Rachel, Matthew, Pam, Bevin, Rick, Anita, Dennis and Tammy for day-of support stocking the shelves, Pam, Rick & Erin for additional logistics. And Matt for getting the church involved! 

We will do it again in December/ January!
