Our EarlyAct Club at Lomax Junior High kicked off their new year today! Club President Peyton Hawkins led the Four Way Test and was assisted by 5th year EarlyAct student and 7th grader Eagan Reff!

Rotary Club member Frank Nance volunteers with Mrs Michele Bronson Nance and Ms Brittney Crawford from LXJH to support our Lobo EarlyAct kiddos.

Looking forward to a big year from this Club!

Today we celebrated five years of EarlyAct in La Porte ISD—and the flagship club that started it all atJennie Reid!

It was especially meaningful to welcome back some of the original Rotarians who helped launch the club five years ago. They had the opportunity to see how their early vision and investment have grown into something truly special—not only at Jennie Reid, but across our entire school district.

What began as one club has become a growing movement of young leaders learning the meaning of “Service Above Self” through service to their campuses and community.

We are grateful for the Rotarians, educators, parents, and students who believed in this program from the beginning—and for everyone continuing to help it grow.

Five years of service. Five years of student leadership. And we’re just getting started!

We’re excited to celebrate the third year of the Bayshore Elementary EarlyAct Club.

We kicked off another year with an orientation for students and parents, introducing the opportunities ahead to serve their campus and community.

EarlyAct gives young people the chance to develop leadership skills, practice compassion, and discover the joy of putting “Service Above Self” into action.

We’re grateful for every student, parent, teacher, and Rotary Club partner helping make year three possible. We can’t wait to see how these young leaders serve others and strengthen their community this year!

May is Youth Service Month in Rotary… but in La Porte, we see it lived out all year long.

Through EarlyAct, our elementary and junior high students aren’t just learning about service—they’re leading it.

They’re organizing food drives for local families.

They’re raising money for children facing medical challenges.

They’re serving seniors, supporting their schools, and stepping up in ways that remind all of us what “Service Above Self” really looks like.

And here’s what’s most powerful… These aren’t just activities. They’re habits being formed. Character being shaped. A generation learning that they have something to give right now—not someday.

That’s what EarlyAct is about.
That’s what Rotary is about.

And that’s why Youth Service Month isn’t just something we celebrate… It’s something we’re building into the DNA of our kids every single week.

Grateful for our teachers, Rotary partners, volunteers, and students who make this possible.

The future is already showing up—and it looks pretty incredible.

Tonight was one of those nights that reminds us why this work matters.

Our EarlyAct 2026 Banquet brought together students, families, educators, and community leaders to celebrate something bigger than awards—service, leadership, and the impact our kids are already making right here in La Porte ISD.

Grateful for our guest speakers, Harris County Commissioner Adrian Garcia and LPISD Superintendent Dr. Walter Jackson, for showing our students that leadership doesn’t start later in life—it starts now.

A huge thank you to Precinct2gether for going above and beyond—providing the space, dinner, and drinks and making this night possible in such a first-class way.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of La Porte for believing in this program and sponsoring all seven of our EarlyAct clubs. This kind of consistent support is what allows these students to grow and lead.

To our incredible Rotary volunteers Terri, Brenda, Frank, Susan, Rick, and Friend of Rotary Jenny - your presence, encouragement, and investment in these kids does not go unnoticed.

And to the teachers and administrators across our campuses—thank you for saying “yes” to one more thing, for supporting these clubs, and for helping shape students who are learning to serve others.

Tonight we celebrated campus achievements, recognized leaders, and honored our 4th-year EarlyAct students—but more than anything, we saw what’s possible when a community wraps around its kids.

The future is in good hands.

We were happy to present the 2026 “Souper Bowl” trophy to our Roadrunners at Jennie Reid Elementary today!

These kiddos led the pack in collecting canned food for our two local food pantries.

Combined with Bayshore Elementary, College Park, and La Porte Elementary, we were able to donate 550 cans of food!

Once again, our EarlyAct Clubs go above and beyond showing their service above self attitude!

Thank you to Rotary Club of La Porte President Nelson Rodriguez for being our guest today!

Our Jennie Reid Elementary EarlyAct Club volunteered at the MRC Affordable Housing today to plant a butterfly garden and help build butterfly feeders for the senior’s fundraiser!

We are very proud of these kiddos and sponsors and parents, giving up some of their precious Saturday to put service above self!
