Editors note: This is the first in a three part series on the structure of Rotary.

Rotary is made up of three parts:

  1. Rotary Clubs - Rotary clubs unite dedicated people to exchange ideas, build relationships, and take action.
  2. Rotary International - Rotary International supports Rotary clubs worldwide by coordinating global programs and initiatives.
  3. The Rotary Foundation - The Rotary Foundation helps fund our humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives.

Together, we work to make lasting change in our communities and around the world.

Rotary Clubs

The heart of Rotary is our members, dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship.

Rotary members share ideas, make plans, hear from the community, and catch up with friends during club programs that fuel the impact we make.

Grafton School District begins construction on approved referendum projects

After voters approved a $39.9 million referendum in April, the Grafton School District took its first step in renovation and expansion projects at Grafton High School, Kennedy and Woodview elementary schools by breaking ground in a Sept. 12 ceremony near the school district's offices.

“The district is very excited to see these projects get underway,” said Grafton Schools Superintendent Jeff Nelson in a district news release. “Through the entire planning and design process, we were focused on developing building solutions that would meet our students’ academic needs and ensure their continued safety, while also being fiscally responsible to the district’s taxpayers. I believe we’ve accomplished these goals.” 

The ceremony included a number of students representing each of its schools, from the elementary level to high school. Grafton High School senior Ian Bould spoke at the ceremony on behalf of the district's students.

"It was great to involve students because that's really what this whole process is for," Nelson said.

The groundbreaking is the culmination of a process that the district began with Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction in 2014. Hoffman will oversee the projects' construction.

“These projects address important needs at the three schools,” said Hoffman President Sam Statz. “In addition to enhancement of each school to accommodate more students and provide upgraded technology and athletic spaces, improvements in safety, security, and accessibility will also take place.”
