Since 1983, the Pagosa Springs Rotary Club has awarded a total of $441,000 in scholarships to 169 local high school graduates. The Pagosa Springs Rotary Club would like to thank the Pagosa Springs community for their continued support of Rotary events and fundraisers that have made our local scholarships possible again this year. Additionally, the Pagosa Springs Rotary Club was pleased to receive a Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative matching grant this year.

In another schools-related topic, Kim announced that grants made by Rotary to Archuleta School District teachers for supplies and materials needed for classroom projects had benefited over 1600 students.  If I can still do my numbers (learned also when dinosaurs roamed the earth) the cost for that was less that $1 per student –  that’s leveraging your money!
