At the October 8th Rotary Club of Kirksville meeting, the club proudly presented a $512.50 donation to William Matthew Middle School to support the purchase of books for 7th grade students. These funds were raised through the Rotary’s flag program, which helps fund community initiatives.
The donation will go toward purchasing copies of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey. This initiative aims to introduce students to the 7 Habits framework, helping them build essential leadership and executive functioning skills—such as goal-setting, time management, personal responsibility, and effective communication.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who supports the Rotary’s flag program—your participation helps make impactful projects like this possible!
