Salida Sunrise Rotary sponsors and coordinates Junior Achievement in the fourth grade classrooms of the Salida School District.  With COVID restrictions lifting, volunteers were able to teach within the classroom on March 16th.  These volunteers worked diligently to prepare for the lessons and brought their vast knowledge and energy to the students throughout the day.
 
JA Our Region introduces students to entrepreneurship and upper elementary grade social studies learning objectives, including regions, resources, supply chains, and problem solving. The learning experience provides students with a practical approach to starting a business while preparing them to be entrepreneurial in their thinking to meet the requirements of a demanding and ever-changing workforce.
 
Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:
  • Understand the traits common to entrepreneurs.
  • Discover how entrepreneurs use resources to offer products and services in a region.
  • Learn about the fundamental tasks performed by business owners.
 
 
 
 
2022 Year in Review
 
In March of 2023, Salida Sunrise Rotary Club and Buena Vista Rotary Interact will celebrate 8 years of sponsoring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Chaffee County.  This outstanding program mails a free age-appropriate book to every registered child each month.  All children in Chaffee County are eligible from birth until they turn 5 years old.
 
This program promotes and encourages a love of reading among children and helps ensure that children enter kindergarten with a strong ability to read and an eagerness to learn.  It also promotes parent-child interaction and bonding.  If a child is registered at birth and remains in the program until he or she turns five, the child will accumulate 60 high quality books.
 
This program has been very successful in our community.  Since our launch, we have mailed nearly 29,000 books to over 1,025 children in the Salida School District!  Across Chaffee County, over 45,000 books have been mailed to over 1,600 children.
