Lisa Zimmer, English & Social Studies teacher at the West Geauga Middle School was our guest speaker this morning who talked to the club about the Power of the Pen program at the West Geauga Middle School. The program encourages creative writing for 7th and 8th grade students to compete at the local, regional and state level. Rotary International strongly promotes literacy programs all across the world. The Power of the Pen program is an excellent way for young students to foster their creative writing skills and it offers an opportunity for a challenging non-athletic competitive activity. Our club has always been a leader in the county in the area of Literacy and supporting this program is just another way of fulfilling that ongoing rotary commitment.
