Rotary Club of Hampton Roads
and Kempsville High and Plaza
Elementary Schools
The Rotary Club of Hampton Roads generously provides human, material and financial
resources at both of these schools. Since 1998, at Kempsville High, this organization
has sponsored clubs and programs benefiting students and families at home and
abroad, as well as providing a $500 Teacher of the Year Grant to a faculty member.
Members of the Club have also served as outside readers of Lisette Piccillo's
senior English students' portfolios. The Club's involvement at Plaza Elementary
is similarly widespread, though focused more specifically on reading through
the STAR program (Soaring Toward Achievement in Reading), coordinated by Amy
Homesley, reading specialist. More than a decade old, this program funds a variety
of opportunities, including an after school tutoring program. Hampton Roads Rotary
Club clearly supports stellar achievement at both Kempsville High and Plaza Elementary.
