Forty-four students from John A. Cumber Primary School have been inducted into Rotary’s EarlyAct service club program.
EarlyAct is a school-wide service club for elementary students from ages 6 to 13, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman Central (Rotary Central). It provides young students with the opportunity to gain an increased awareness and knowledge of their community and the world.
At the induction ceremony at the school, Naude Dreyer, president of Rotary Central, and president elect Larry Tibbetts presented new club members with a banner and welcomed the youngsters into the Rotary family.
Student Janani Kumar was chosen as president; Ashley Ebanks as vice president, Lilly Powery as secretary, and Hayleigh Sciamonte as treasurer of the club.
Stating her commitment to the club, Janani promised to work hard to plan and carry out activities and projects that would benefit them, the community and the environment. “I promise to show commitment and enthusiasm in carrying out my responsibilities as president. I am confident that being EarlyActors will allow us to build goodwill and better friendships and, in so doing, we will be better citizens,” she said.
Joseph Wallace, the school’s principal said he believed that the EarlyAct program will be beneficial to students because it gives them an opportunity to gain an increased awareness and knowledge of the needs of their community and encourages them to be caring and helpful to others.
“Not only do we expect that this program will help those involved to become more empathetic to the needs and condition of others but we hope that it will also engender a sense of respect and gratitude for all that they have and the generosity that allows them to share with others who may be less fortunate,” Mr. Wallace said.
