Rotary International (www.rotary.org) officially chartered the Wilton High School Interact Club in 2003. We are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Wilton. The club has become a successful part of the service community at the high school and in the town of Wilton. It has undertaken and successfully completed a number of projects in the past few years. During the 2008-2009 school year the WHS Interact Club raised money for a number of charities including a WorldVision child sponsorship in Haiti, Kick for Nick, The American Cancer Society, Rotary International’s End Polio Now campaign, and Wilton Social Services. In addition, the WHS Interact members were called on to support other charity efforts including a Cider Mill School’s Pennies for Peace initiative, Trackside Teen Center’s Teen’s for the Troops and the WHS food drive to support the Norwalk Food Pantry. In the 2009-2010 school year, Interact members hope to continue their sponsorship of a child in Haiti, in addition to taking on other worthy causes. In addition, Interact will continue to support community projects including the recently adopted school-wide Kick for Nick initiative sponsored by the WHS Faculty Mentor program and Student Government’s support for the Norwalk Food Pantry.
