October is Economic and Community Development Month
Please enjoy, learn and be inspired by this week's Lake Views newsletter of Lake Chelan Rotary. We are proud of the community and international service we have provided since 1926 to the Lake Chelan region.
Our club meets every Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. at Tsillan Cellars in Sorrento's Ristorante. Our satellite meeting is held at The Vogue, the Valley's Gathering Place, on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 7 a.m. Please join us at either of these meetings, and feel free to bring a guest interested in Rotary.

Program for October 23, 2018
Personalized Learning through Innovative Education at Manson High
Speakers: Jennifer Koth and Addie Gragreda
Program Sponsors: Diane Leigh and Dan Hodge
|
|
Our speakers this week will be Jennifer Koth, Manson High School's Career Choices teacher, and Addie Gragreda, who is Manson High School's Post-Secondary Coordinator in charge of the Internship Program. Some amazing things are happening at Manson High School. Students are engaged in student-led learning that creates a natural integration of courses as they explore topics not traditionally offered in a small school. Their studies are exciting, relevant and multi-faceted - involving project-based learning, opportunities for internships, college credits, and a lot more. Emphasis is put on helping students with post-high school preparation, from mock job interviews, to the Buzz on Biz Entrepreneurial Program supported by our own Rotary club, to individualized teacher advocates who guide students to be successful in their college or career choices.
