Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Fort Worth

Total Budget: $5,303

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Our proposed project is to help underwrite implementation of the Ron Clark Academy (RCA) House System, designed to foster a positive academic climate and culture for students and staff at Richard J. Wilson Elementary in Fort Worth, Texas.


Our club has a long-standing partnership with Richard J. Wilson Elementary (RJW), a Title One, multilingual school that is part of FWISD. Approximately 95% of the students are economically disadvantaged. Over the years, our club has purchased technology, classroom equipment, library furniture, and supplies based on priority needs identified by the school's administration. Our members are in the school often. We sponsor a student recognition event six times a year called Rotary Club Star Student Celebrations. The Celebrations culminate in an end-of-the-year bike-give-away to one deserving student at each grade level. We annually hold a teacher appreciation. We believe our club's involvement with RJW makes an important difference in addressing the educational needs and wellbeing of these students.

This year the school's administration has requested our club sponsor key components of an innovative program, the RCA House System, slated to be implemented school-wide early in the school year. The administration has researched this approach and identified this method as an exciting and proven way to create a positive climate and culture, enhancing academics and student behavior. The RCA program promotes learning, character building, relationships, and school spirit. The school submitted the attached proposal that outlines specific materials and equipment, including the budget, that will significantly enhance implementation of the RCA system.
