March 2017 - Buttsbury Junior School RotaKids

The RotaKids Club at Buttsbury Junior School was the second RotaKids club formed by the Rotary Club of Billericay, with the active support of the Headteacher, Ann Robinson.

Thanks to the efforts of Margaret Fowler and her close contacts with Buttsbury Junior School, the school set up a RotaKids club, based around its pupil school council.  Margaret kicked off the project last year, and following early discussions with Head Teacher Ann Robinson, she and Peter Greene met with Ann at the end of the year to explain what a RotaKids club was, why it was beneficial to the children and how it supplemented the work of the school.

They had a positive response and in early January this year a follow-up meeting with Deputy Headteacher Sally Lavelle yielded confirmation that the school will go ahead with the project.

The club has gone from strength to strength, regularly carrying out tasks to help the community, and completing projects raising significant sums to support charities and good causes.

Members come from all year groups and work together to achieve their objectives, exemplifying the ideals in the RotaKids Pledge:

As a RotaKid, I endeavour to be fair to all,
to serve my community and to
show respect for others

To make a difference to:
Our School
Our community
Our world
