Annual Coats for Kids
Children
in Rockwall have been able to stay warm thanks to the generous donations from
the Rockwall Breakfast Rotary Club and the Rockwall Noon Rotary Club.
In
keeping with Rotary's motto, "Service Above Self", on Tuesday, November
29th, over 200 coats were delivered to all elementary schools of
Rockwall Independent School District.
Coats
For Kids, now in its seventh year, is one of Rockwall Breakfast Rotary Club's
rewarding annual programs serving the Rockwall community. The annual coat drive
initially started in conjunction with Dobbs Elementary.
Nothing
is more rewarding than knowing that you have given a gift. It is even more
rewarding when it's something they really need. “On behalf of Rockwall ISD, we
greatly appreciate the support to our students given by your organizations. You
made lots of children and parents smile today!” said Dr. Debbie Smothermon, Assistant Superintendent for
Administrative Services
KC Club
Leaders graciously accepted coat donations on behalf of their campus and were appreciative
of the gifts to classmates. Kindness and Compassion Club Leaders are part of
the Rachel's Challenge Program.
