A Bad Case of the Stripes was the December selection in our kindergarten sponsorship program. Students should receive the books today.

To the community members and businesses who supported this program, you should know that I've heard both the teachers and students have been excited to receive these books, and are very grateful for the support the community has shown.

Knuffle Bunny was the first book selected for the Kindergarten Sponsorship program and should be distributed to the qualifying kindergarteners today, just in time for their Thanksgiving Break.

Thanks again to all of the individuals and businesses who participated in this program. We will do our best to keep you updated on our progress throughout the year, but rest assured that your support has (and will continue to)  impact these children in a positive way!

Help make thefirst ever Composition Café a success! Copper Mill’s 5th graders want to share their writing with YOU! On Friday, November 30th, we are inviting Zachary’s community leaders and 5th grade parents to join us during the students’ normal class time. Students will present their work while sharing coffee and hot chocolate donated by CC’s Coffee House. Help inspire, motivate, and support your budding writers.

There are class times available throughout the day. ​R.S.V.P to rachel.henriquez@zacharyschools.org by Nov. 26th to be part of this event.

We met our sponsorship goal for this year and the first book from this program will be delivered to the students in November. Thank you to all of the businesses and individuals who supported this pilot program!

​Thanks to all of our sponsors!
​To sponsor a child, please write a check to Zachary Rotary Club in the amount of $50 and mail to the address below, drop off to Bret Funk at InfinIT Technology Group or Sara Horn of Zachary Travel, or you can pay your sponsorship by credit card by using the donation button below. A sponsorship by credit card will cost $52 to offset the credit card fees, as we intend each sponsored child to have an equal amount of funding for their books.

The Rotary Club of Zachary has partnered with Northwestern Elementary to provide books to Kindergarten students identified by the school system as having little to no access to books at their homes.

We are currently seeking sponsorships of $50/student, which will provide one book per month during the school year, as well as a "summer reading library” for the students to take home at the end of the year. Books will be chosen by the Literacy Committee in conjunction with one or more teachers from Northwestern Elementary, so that a wide variety of age appropriate and engaging titles can be selected. This program is funded solely by sponsorships, and 100% of the sponsorship money will go to the implementation of this program.

We all understand the benefits that literacy and a love of reading can bring. A sponsorship will provide between 10-15 books, and for children with little access to books at home, that might make a significant difference. Based on the success of this pilot program, we hope to explore the possibility of expanding this program both “upward” to higher grades in Zachary as well as “outward” to Kindergartens in some of our neighboring communities which may have a greater need for a program such as this.

If this is a program you would like to support we would greatly appreciate your sponsorship!
