GERMAN FIELD TRIP TO U OF M
ROTARY STUDENTS GIVING BACK
Rotary Interact students took time out of their weekend to help Rotarians in the community clean the Rotary Park by the Rochester Hills Library.
Rotary Interact Students raised almost $100 to help end Polio. Rotarians have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. For as little as $0.60, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. For more information, please visit www.my.rotary.org

Prestige Portraits will be photographing seniors on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 from 8:00am to 2:15pm in the Media Center. The session will include several poses to fulfill your yearbook and composite requirement.
There is no charge for this session.
