Rincon Rotary goes for the gold with the Esperero Canyon Middle School Science Olympiad team.

Evan Thiele at Esperero Canyon Middle School requested supplies for the 30 students on the school's Science Olympiad Team. Their involvement in the Science Olympiad fosters hands on experiencial learning as an extension on the science education they get in the classroom. The Rincon Rotary believes strongly in this kind of education and obtained the supplies for them.

Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary LOCAL program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance.
