Sunrise Rotarians traded Friday breakfast for safety goggles and spent a day running hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math stations for students at Adams Elementary.

From building challenges to simple circuits, students rotated through stations led by club members and teachers. Thank you to the Adams Elementary staff for hosting us and to Youth Service Director Mel Crosier and the members who volunteered.

Youth service is one of Rotary’s five Avenues of Service, and programs like STEM Day, the Thornton Elementary chess club, RYLA, and our scholarship program are how Sunrise Rotary invests in the next generation of Arlington leaders.

Every two seconds, someone needs blood. Arlington Sunrise Rotary is partnering with Carter BloodCare, HOPE International, and Prosperity Bank for a community blood drive.

Applications for the 2026 Arlington Sunrise Rotary Scholarship are now open to Arlington high-school seniors who plan to attend college or a technical program next fall.

The club has awarded more than $124,600 in scholarships, funded largely by our Flag Program. Applicants are evaluated on academics, service, leadership, and need, and finalists are interviewed by club members. Winners are recognized at a Friday meeting in the spring.

Counselors and students with questions can contact the club.
