Scholarships for the DCSD Legacy Campus

The Douglas County School District's Legacy Campus provides pathways for high school students to explore career and technical education, often while gaining college credit.  However, this education can involve additional fees and costs for supplies.  The Rotary Club of Parker contributed $5000 for scholarships for high school students to take part in Legacy's offerings.  Those funds were matched by the Metzler Family Foundation in partnership with the Foundation for Douglas County Schools, resulting in a total of $10,000 to support scholarships for high school students.  Thank you to the sponsors of the Rotary Club of Parker for helping make this possible!

Varieties of Service

Saturday, October 18 provided a perfect example of how Rotarians can serve our local community.

  • First, about a dozen Rotarians gathered at Affinity Ranch Saturday morning to continue to make the counselling cabins ready to receive clients.  While some worked on preparing the gravel paths to the cabins, others worked to install light poles to provide lighting for safe access.
  • Then that afternoon, Parker Rotarians joined with other local Rotary clubs to help at the Trunk or Treat event in downtown Parker, sponsored by the Downtown Business Alliance.

Which project looks like more fun to you?!
