With 73 members, the Temple High School Interact Club is a vibrant group of junior and senior students eager to make a difference in their community. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Temple-South, these young leaders are demonstrating how teamwork, compassion, and a commitment to service can create meaningful change.
he club's recent activities reflect a passion for helping others, both locally and globally.
Many Interact members joined their sponsoring Rotary club for a service project at a local food pantry, where they helped package snacks for students who may not have enough food over the weekends during the school year. The project helps address food insecurity and ensures that students have something to eat when school meals are not available.
On October 24, members also participated in the World Polio Day Walk, joining Rotary members and supporters in raising awareness of Rotary's global effort to end polio. Their participation demonstrated that even young volunteers can play an important role in supporting worldwide humanitarian causes.
The students found another way to combine service and fun the day after Halloween. Dressed in their Halloween costumes, Interact members headed to a local park to pick up trash and help keep their community clean and welcoming. Their creative approach made the cleanup more enjoyable while reinforcing the importance of caring for shared community spaces.
Through these projects, Temple High School Interactors are learning that service comes in many forms. Whether helping fight student hunger, supporting global health initiatives, or improving their local environment, they are building leadership skills and discovering the difference they can make when they work together.
With the support of the Rotary Club of Temple-South, these 73 young leaders are embracing the spirit of Service Above Self and showing that the next generation is already making a positive impact!
