Space Center Rotary's EarlyAct FirstKnight program has been a tremendous success. Teaching chivalry and building champions -- that's what the program is accomplishing at Whitcomb Elementary School. The program teaches children how to be role models and hold high standards for character. You haven't experienced Rotary, until you hear 700 young students recite Rotary's 4-Way Test "every morning". Organizers hope the examples will rub off on other kids. It was the last day of school for students at Clear Creek ISD, and some of them went home with proud parents and new titles for the summer.
