Lockport News

The Rotary Club of Lockport was approved for a District Grant to create a new literacy program that was launched at the beginning of the school year.  The Remarkable Reading Club is the name of our new district grant literacy program.  The grant provides funding for the Salvation Army to transport school-aged children from the after school program at their location, to the Lockport Public Library for an afternoon of educational fun.  The Rotary district grant also covers the cost of staff, transportation, books and materials for the Remarkable Reading Club. The club will run for ten weeks of the school year, and each child will receive a brand new book at the end of the program.
