The Burkburnett Rotary Club sent three BHS students (Lexi, Andrew, and Mitchell) to the Rotary Youth Leadership Camp this summer. RYLA is an intensive program for students, focusing on professional development, team building, community service, and leadership training. Lexi attended our weekly Rotary meeting to present her experiences at camp. She said she learned invaluable ‘Service Before Self’ lessons that she will carry into college and adulthood. She was very thankful for the opportunity to attend and encouraged the Burkburnett Rotary Club to continue to send students to RYLA. Pictured with Lexi are her dad and grandparents

 

Rotary Club of Burkburnett presented  Librarian Pam Miller with 10 Peace Books from District 5790 Governor Pat Peters Reading List for young children. For January and February two of these books have been part of the Burkburnett Library Storytime  Trail in Permian Park off of Davy Drive.
