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.
