Rotary Club of Edmond Delivers Unprecedented Support to Local Classrooms

The Rotary Club of Edmond, in partnership with the Edmond Public Schools Foundation, is celebrating the remarkable impact they have made on local education. Through the

DonorsChoose program and the Classroom Support initiative, the club has successfully funded 609 teacher projects, investing a total of $316,761 and enriching the educational experiences of over 85,510 students within Edmond Public Schools.

The Edmond Public Schools Foundation, serving as the critical link between the community and its schools, facilitated this significant investment, ensuring that teachers' innovative ideas and resource needs were met. The DonorsChoose platform empowered educators to directly request funding for specific classroom projects, allowing the Rotary Club of Edmond to provide targeted support that directly benefits students.

"These numbers represent more than just financial investment; they represent a profound commitment to the future of our community," said Andy Conyers, Club President. "We are incredibly proud to partner with the Edmond Public Schools Foundation and to empower our teachers with the resources they need to create engaging and impactful learning experiences for our students."

The Classroom Support program, a cornerstone of the Rotary Club of Edmond’s educational initiatives, has seen exponential growth thanks to the dedication of its members. This year, the club is especially proud to announce that Chuck Musgrave has been named the Hall of Fame Education Champion.

"Chuck's unwavering advocacy, strategic vision, and generous contributions have been instrumental in elevating our Classroom Support program," said Natalie Bonney, Rotary Club of Edmond Foundation Chairperson. "His passion for education and his commitment to our students make him a truly deserving recipient of this prestigious honor."

Chuck Musgrave’s leadership has been pivotal in driving the success of the program, ensuring that classrooms across the district have access to vital resources and innovative learning tools. His dedication has inspired fellow members and community partners to further invest in the future of Edmond’s students.

The Rotary Club of Edmond and the Edmond Public Schools Foundation remain committed to fostering a thriving educational environment for all students. This year’s achievements serve as a testament to the power of community collaboration and the enduring impact of investing in education.

The Rotary Club of Edmond currently meets at noon every Wednesday at St. Luke’s UMC on I-35. Guests are welcome. www.edmondrotary.org

Rotary Club of Edmond Gifts Musical Instruments and Books to Scissortail Elementary

The Rotary Club of Edmond recently presented a generous gift to Scissortail Elementary School, providing a significant boost to the school’s music program and library.

The donation of musical instruments was made possible by the Club's Foundation alongside a grant from Rotary District 5750. The musical instruments, which include base bars, metallophones, glockenspiels, tubanos, and xylophones, will enhance the school’s music education program. Meg Womack, the school’s music teacher, expressed her gratitude, stating, “We now have the newest and best instruments for elementary school music classes in the district.”

In addition to the musical instruments, the Rotary Club fulfilled a $700 book wish list from the school’s librarian, Larissa Spear. Each week, a Club speaker will sign one of the books with an inspirational message, and the signed book will be returned to the school as a lasting memento.

A group of Club members also contributed $1,000 to support students in need. These funds will be used to purchase socks, underwear, and coats for students who require additional clothing.

Natalie Bonney, Foundation Chair of the Rotary Club of Edmond, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership with Scissortail Elementary: “Our relationship with Scissortail Elementary has been truly special. As a new school with many needs, we’ve been honored to support them. Working with Principal Jamilla Crawford has been an inspiring experience. She is an exceptional leader who is making a profound impact on the lives of her students.”

The Rotary Club of Edmond meets every Wednesday at noon at St. Luke’s Methodist Church in Edmond. Guests are always welcome.

Oktoberfest Provides Rotary Club of Edmond an Opportunity to Serve and Raise Money for Scholarships

The Rotary Club of Edmond enjoyed a little Oktoberfest and raised some money at the same time.

Several club members spent a full day and evening October 5 at Frenzy Brewing Company in downtown Edmond preparing Bratz, sauerkraut, hot pretzels and sides for patrons visiting the annual celebration.

Frenzy Brewing Company has partnered with our club for a second year, offering discounted beer and a special meal for those who wanted a little food with their brews! Frenzy offered a special Oktoberfest Festbier for the occasion.

Rotary Club of Edmond raised more than $1,700 for student scholarships.

Frenzy also allowed our club to raise funds and serve food on St. Patrick’s Day.

We appreciate the business’s support and those who came out to enjoy the celebration while helping young scholars at the same time.

Rotarians also volunteered at the Miracle League at Edmond’s Mitch Park on October 14. The event gives families of baseball players with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the game without the responsibility of helping on the field. Rotarians helped snag balls in the outfield and provided a lot of encouragement to the players in the long-standing league. The field is designed specifically for people with disabilities.

Rotarians will be back on the field October 24 to assist other teams. If you would like to experience the event and find fulfillment and purpose, contact Amy Hollis. Ask anyone who has participated, and you will hear stories of inspiration and pleasant surprises at how the event has a positive effect on their lives.
