The North Reading Community EarlyAct Club recently installed thirty students into the service club for the 2017-18 academic year. The co-ed club is open to students in grades three through five. North Reading Youth Services Director Amy Luckiewicz noted, “This has been our highest enrollment we have ever had since beginning the program in 2014.” At its installation meeting, the students took the EarlyAct Oath: I promise to do my best to understand, accept and help people. I will keep leadership, commitment and gratitude in my mind as I work to do service above self. The community club represents all schools in North Reading. Based on a Rotary International model, the projects and meetings focus on the values of gratitude, community, leadership, commitment, and inclusion. The club meets twice per month to plan and implement a local or international humanitarian project. Initiated in 2014, the group was formed by 4 parent volunteers: Sandy Garniss, Samantha Miller, Karen Buscemi, and Leslie Schultz in partnership with North Reading Rotary Club’s Peter Majane.
