Interact Club is the service projects club at Davis. It mirrors the Interact Club at Scioto High School.. This club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Dublin. Davis MS is the first middle school to sponsor a Rotary supported service club, and Karrer MIddle School has also started their own Interact Club!! Davis also has two Rotarians that will support our Davis Club! This club is open to any 6th, 7th or 8th grade student interested in giving service to others! Our projects will give service to Davis, our community, our nation and our world in many different ways! Last year we contributed to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Columbus Humane Society, Divine Dignity, area homeless people, Davis NJHS, and Davis staff Appreciation.

WHAT IS ROTARY?
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Dublin has an active Rotary Club that works closely with the Interact clubs at all three high schools, and now Davis and Karrer Middle Schools.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS FOR OUR MEETINGS.
Each month we will hold at least one meeting after school (maybe some during lunch periods as well) to create and implement meaningful service projects that help those in need! Meetings after school will typically last from 3:15 until 4:30. Please arrange for your ride to pick you up by 4:35. Our plan is for most meetings to be held on the 1st Tuesday of each month. This is subject to change!

A small snack will be provided at all after school meetings. We ask that you give a one time donation of $5 to help pay for these snacks. Must you attend all meetings? NO! That’s the great thing about Interact. Come when you can!

We officially have a greenhouse in the Davis courtyard and we are SO excited to get ‘growing’! In this club, students will be starting from the basics. With research, club members will determine which plants we will be purchasing and planting the following weeks. Students will also be in charge of caring for and collecting data on the Greenhouse plants during their Irish period time. By documenting the growth process, students will learn exactly how to care for each individual plant. Any produce harvested from our plants will be donated to our very own “Davis Food Pantry”! This food pantry provides shelf-stable meals for Davis families in need. Our goal is to supply these families with a variety of fresh produce. This club is a great opportunity for students to gain experience, have fun, become one with nature, and serve our very own Davis community!
