Mesquite Rotary Club President Dr. Angel Rivera presented a $3,500 donation check to the Mesquite ISD Education Foundation on March 24th. Foundation Executive Director Randy Lewallyn accepted the check.
The Mesquite ISD Education Foundation provides funds for projects outside the regular school district budget through a grant application process. Funds donated by the greater community enhance innovative programs that benefit students and support teacher initiatives and growth. Lewallyn thanked the club for its support, and noted that the funds would do much to assist many teachers and MISD students.
The funds which allow the club to make these donations come from the proceeds of their past Mesquite Rotary “Rodeo Road Rally” bike ride fundraisers. The group is already preparing for this year’s ride, which is being planned for Saturday, June 12th at Mesquite High School.
