Thanks to Kristin, Ward, Katie (& Marc), Jon N. (& Sue), and John H. (& Jean) for getting dirty for a good cause. A big thanks to Karen and Kathie for treating all the workers to a delicious catered lunch too! It was a great Saturday.
Weekly Meeting Recap:
EAHS CTE Programs
Principal (and fellow Rotarian) Dan Kielled attendees on a guided showcase of the Career & Technical Education wing of Elkhorn Area High School to see the innovative classes being offered to area students in grades 9-12. Members toured the Woodworking/Construction classes, Machining, Welding, and Auto Body shops to learn about the massive popularity of these programs and career opportunities for students to fill the much-needed employment gaps in Wisconsin. The tour concluded with a stop at the new eSports lab, generously donated by area business, Palmer Hamilton.

Sixth Grade EAMS science teacher, Eryca Card, started a community outreach in 2022 for adults to write monthly anonymous notes of encouragement and support to a few students who could use some extra love throughout the school year. Kids experiencing challenges at home, bullying, loss, or who could just use a monthly boost are signed up for the program by their family to recognize there is an entire community who cares.
The program has gotten REALLY popular and now Eryca needs the Elkhorn Rotary's help to show the love to more kids! Can you write a monthly note, donate small items, offer a birthday card, or support the program financially? Please fill out the link below to receive more information.
