OHS Rotary Interact Club Establishes Action Teams

The Oscoda High School Interact Club is off to a great start with President Sophia Rayes forming five action teams giving more students the chance to develop leadership skills. The School Service Action Team is led by Emily Hanson and assisted by Interact Faculty Advisor Miss Brianne Becker. They are looking to increase positivity in the school by displaying kindness posters. They are also scheduling a Virtual Spring College Trip which will happen at the school on April 12 and will feature virtual interviews with Admissions officers from six colleges/universities in the Lower Peninsula. In addition, they are starting up the Earlyact Service Club for 7th and 8th graders. The Community Service Action team is led by Caitlin Berney and assisted by Interact Co-Advisor Mrs. Mary Reitler. In November they presented the Oscoda Police Department with a “Thank You” poster signed by students, blue line police flag pins, and, of course, doughnuts. Recently they made valentines which were delivered to a local nursing home. The International Service Action Team is led by Jessica Montgomery and supported by Interact’s International Specialist, Mrs. Etna Romo. They are working on an all school End Polio Dollar Drive with donations to be matched two-to-one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Publicity Action Team led by Savahanna Webster and the Fund Raising Action Team led by Lucas Farrier are assisted by Interact Co-Advisor Dr. Jim Kent and are doing a great job publicizing and providing for club services and activities.
