Over 200 teens from across District 5810 filled the commons area of McKinney North High School on Saturday, April 21 for a half day of fun, food, fellowship and service. Originally planned for Shawnee Trail Park with an outdoor service project, the weather report necessitated a move to indoor facilities and the Interact District team worked quickly to make it an enjoyable day of interaction and entertainment.
The last-minute change of location also meant a change of service project, and the two projects included making cards for nursing home residents and collecting books for Boys & Girls Club. With the help of Rotary, the Frisco ISD Group by far had the largest number of books for the collection and because of our combined efforts, all clubs left with books to donate.
In addition to the service projects, the day included games, sports and activities that allowed the District – wide groups to mix and work as teams. While they played, the adults worked on plans for next year’s clubs.
Our Club was well represented by Vandeveeter Middle School group and Frisco ISD Group, with over 30 teens and 5 adults in attendance. Frisco ISD received the award for second highest number in attendance, most books donated and Vandeveeter received Middle School team of the year.
The Frisco ISD group was also recognized due to having four of seven District Council members as well as a Model UN team.
