Starting Out On the Right Foot

Alpharetta Rotary Club President, Jason Binder, presents HomeStretch with calculators for students.

At HomeStretch, we know how to play with a purpose, and the annual Back to School/Santa in Summer Program, hosted by the Rotary Club of John’s Creek, is no exception. The event creates excitement about heading back to the classroom while helping families prepare for the year ahead. “We enjoy providing enrichment resources that build education foundations for children in our community,” says Lynne Riley, Johns Creek Rotarian and chair of the event.

This year’s event included fun activities,free school supplies, and the kids a Chik-Fil-A catered dinner. While the younger students played in a winter wonderland, educators and counselors gave our teens valuable tips for starting the year smart. Thank you, Rotarians, for supporting our families in so many ways.

Also, a special thanks to the Alpharetta Rotary Club for donating Texas Instrument Scientific Calculators and Children’s Restoration Network for donating a backpack for each child in the HomeStretch program.
