Rotary club provides backpacks to students
Rotary Club member Bob Tatum adds a bag of backpacks filled with school supplies to the pile at Larson Heights Elementary School as part of the club's "Backpacks for Kids" event.
MOSES LAKE - The Rotary Club of Moses Lake donated 550 backpacks filled with school supplies to the Moses Lake School District Tuesday.
The backpacks were loaded into a school bus Tuesday and delivered to Larson Heights Elementary where they will be distributed to students that need them, said Rotary Club member David Thomas.
Thomas and Rotary Club members Bob Tatum and Julianne Dodds helped load backpacks into a school bus Tuesday morning. Bus driver Donna Massey also helped load the backpacks, and drove the bus to Larson Heights, where Principal Diana McFaul greeted them.
Employees of the Moses Lake Clinic, residents of Pioneer Village and businesses including Costco, Office Depot and Walmart, donated money or supplies for the project, said Thomas.
