Interact Club volunteered at the annual ‘Swing for the Cure’ event on October 11. It was once

Mandarino Foundation.

We are planning for remote parent teacher conferences this year due to Covid-19. We are working to

Join Interact Club!
Interact Club is a Rotary sponsored service club, and members are committed to making a difference not only in our community, but internationally as well.
In spite of COVID-19, Interact Club has already held several successful Community Service events this school year, starting with the late summer activities of the Jean Klock Park Beach Clean Up and the Rotary Adopt-A-Highway, both led by Community Service Director Regan Igoe.
Most recently, students helped rake at the Krasl Art Institute. This event will happen again!
Upcoming events include setting up and tearing down at the Soups on the Go Fundraiser for Krasl Art Center November 5th and November 7th and helping set up the Luminaries at the Luminary Festival in Downtown St. Joe on November 20th.
