Bloom Elementary is down in the easy chair thanks to the Rincon Rotary.

Whoo-ee, slip n slide
Tomorrow's the day
Your chair's gonna spin
Oh, oh, are we gonna ride
Down in the easy chair*

Katelyn Brodie at Bloom Elementary requested funds to purchase flexible seating for her third grade classroom. According to Ms. Brodie, flexible seating is shown to improve behavior and focus in the classroom. The Rincon Rotary focued on her project and outfitted her class with the seating she requested.

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.

To find out more about Rotary LOCAL and how it may be able to help you, go to rotarylocal.org. Primary support for Rotary LOCAL comes from the Rincon Rotary's annual fundraiser, The Tucson Taste of Chocolate.
