“Our Rotary Club is committed to providing the resources for children to learn about civics, and there is no better way to learn about our system of government than by reading our nation’s founding documents,” said Electa Waddell, Clewiston Rotary President. “We appreciate Hendry and Glades County principals and teachers for the opportunity to share such valuable information to some of America’s future leaders.”
