Members of the Camden Wyoming Rotary Club were given a tour of Caesar Rodney schools by District School Superintendent Christine Alois. Eleven club members met with the Superintendent at district headquarters and went to the Caesar Rodney High School where they were met by the High School Principal, Dr. Sherry Kijowski. She talked about the 2300 students at the high school and the many programs available to them. Dr. Kijowski guided the Rotary members on a tour of CR High School where they got to see the athletic facilities, the cafeteria, the ROTC classroom, a dance studio, a culinary arts classroom, and several additional areas of the high school.
The group then went to WB Simpson Elementary School where they were met by Ashley Holmes the Principal of Simpson Elementary. She took the group to a Chinese immersion class where they were able to see the first graders learning the Chinese alphabet. The tour group went outside to see the gardens that the children take care of as well as the outdoor play area that the students are holding a fundraiser to get additional funds for more playground equipment.
The Rotary members were impressed with the neatness and decorum in the schools. Several members of the Rotary Club will be back to the elementary schools in early November to deliver dictionaries to all the 3rd grade students as part of an annual program.
