Elmira Rotary renews its commitment to Diven

The Elmira Rotary has renewed its commitment to partner with Diven Elementary for the third year to provide the school with additional resources.

Last year, Rotarian-sponsored activities included:

Diven Elementary is considered one of the most socio-economically challenged schools in Chemung County. About 80 percent of its students are receiving free or reduced-price meals.

"It's been a joy to watch the Rotarians work with our children, said Pam Davis-Webb, Diven Principal. "The relationships and rapport they've created has helped individual students strengthen skills and entire classrooms transfer and apply the curriculum to real life. We're blessed to have such dedicated partners work with us to help our children learn, grow and become their very best."

 





The Elmira City School District is a tobacco-free environment.
