Our Projects

Service Projects in our Schools

Our Club focuses especially on the needs of children from birth through age 8. Our major projects include:

RIF - Reading is Fundamental - funding is provided at various schools chosen by the Brockton School Department. As there are 13 elementary schools in Brockton, different schools are chosen each year. This year RIF distribution is at the BB Russell and Brookfield Schools.

BUG - Bringing Up Grades at various schools each year. Again, we work with the Brockton School Department which chooses the schools that participate in this program. This year we will be doing BUG at the Brookfield School.

TERRIFIC Kids - This program is specific to the Keith School which is home to Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, and Preschool program in Brockton. Terrific Kid awards are given out monthly to the Transitional Kindergarten students who meet their personal goals.
