Rotakids, a Lynx elective led by Middle School Humanities teacher Dawn Austin, empowers students to use their skills and passions to make a positive impact in the community.
This month, the Rotakids continued their long-standing partnership with Sant Joan de Déu Children’s Hospital, where they delivered goody bags of joy to young patients. The visit, now in its third year, was a meaningful experience for our Middle School students and a reminder of the power of kindness and service.
Beyond this initiative, Rotakids are also leading several community projects, including collecting coats for families in need, gathering pet supplies for a local animal shelter, and inviting guest speakers from NGOs to share their work on global issues such as eradicating polio and rescuing migrants at sea.
Through these experiences, students learn valuable leadership skills - organizing fundraisers, writing emails, arranging meetings, designing posters, and coordinating events - all while having fun and building connections across the ASB community.
