Your excellent committee work is vital to the program’s success! Our members have donated over $212,600. to our San Rafael school teachers in the form of mini-grants (~$500 each) benefitting thousands of San Rafael students. Thank you all again for your service and leadership! Read the beautiful messages sent to our Rotary Club members from 5th grade teacher Lauri Peters from Sun Valley Elementary School and Pierre Littée, 5th grade teach at Bahia Vista Elementary School expressing heartfelt appreciation for our Mini Grant Award she received. The overwhelming expressions of joy and appreciation from the little TKers. Letter from 5th grade teacher Lauri Peters from Sun Valley Elementary School “Happy Monday. I just want to say, thank you to the Rotary from the bottom of my heart and my little TKers. The company is in another country and we received the Superspace giant magnatiles a couple of weeks ago. My kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. They are perfect for this age and they love working together to build structures. They are learning to listen to other's ideas, compromise, and learn from their design mistakes. I am beyond grateful and can't thank you all enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!” Letter from 5th Grade teacher Pierre Littée from Bahia Vista Elementary School Dear Rotary Club of San Rafael, "Thank you again for funding my project this school year. The students spent two weeks reading a nonfiction book About Time: A First Look at Time and Clocks. They engaged in conversations and completed a learning packet to further their understanding of the various ways humans have tracked time, and the evolution of the clock from a simple sundial to elaborate mechanisms. Please find attached to this email photos of them engaging with the final performance task of building a wooden clock, which was only able to be funded thanks to your generous contribution to my classroom." Thank you very much. The photos below are "Mini Grants in Action" at Sun Valley Elementary School

| Rotary Members had contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year. |
