Join us for Free Pizza on Nov. 14th at 6 PM at Bravo Pizza! The local Manchester-Essex Rotary Club seeks students from all grade levels to discuss forming an Interact Club at MEHRS to provide community service and help meet your service requirements. Interact is an international student-led initiative to provide high school students the opportunity for leadership through community service. You will hear from student Interact leaders from other local schools (e.g., Ipswich, Gloucester) about how their clubs serve the community and their reasons for being part of Interact. More on Interact can be found here: https://www.rotary.org/en/get-involved/interact-clubs
