What happens when young people embrace Service Above Self? District 6250's Interact clubs are showing us! From food drives and community service to supporting children in crisis and growing a club of more than 100 members, these students are making an incredible impact. I'm Jason Jones, your new District 6250 Interact Advisor! I'm excited to step into this role, learn from our students and clubs, and become part of the district team. With the first week of November being Interact Week, I'm thrilled to share just a small sampling of what three of our Interact clubs are doing to make a difference in their schools, communities, and beyond.
 
 

La Crescent Interact Club

Talk about a busy day! Last weekend, La Crescent students helped with their Rotary Club's highway cleanup, headed to Rotary Lights Headquarters to lend a hand, and finished the evening with Trick or Treat for Food, collecting donations for the local food shelter. They also recently visited my home club to share how Interact and RYLA have impacted their lives. What an inspiring group! Keep that Rotary spirit going!

Onalaska Hilltoppers Interact Club

These students donated stuffed animals to the Onalaska Police Department to comfort children during traumatic situations, raised $450 during their Homecoming Miracle Minute, and collected an impressive 2,587 food items through a school district food drive! What a meaningful impact on their community. Great work, Hilltoppers!

Stoughton Interact Club

I was blown away to learn Stoughton Interact has more than 100 members! Recently, students helped at a local Trunk-or-Treat event and assembled Survival Bags for staff and parents. With plenty more activities ahead, this club is just getting started! Keep growing and serving, Stoughton!

These are just three examples of the amazing things District 6250 Interact clubs are accomplishing. Our students are learning leadership, building friendships, and putting Service Above Self into action—and they are making us proud!

Happy Interact Week! The future of Rotary is in great hands!
