Founded by Rotary International, Interact Club strives to serve the community on global, national, and local levels. Westbury Christian’s Interact president Joseph Tillman initiated a project to create cards for the children at Texas Children’s Hospital.
“TCH is a local hospital and a tremendous asset to Houston and the nation, treating children, some of whom have debilitating and terminal illnesses,” says Interact Club Sponsor Carole Booker. “I especially like this project because it serves the most vulnerable and helpless in our community.”
The project returned for its second year at WCS with the help of Interact members. The Interact Club reached its goal to create over 100 cards for children at Texas Children’s Hospital in an effort to brighten their days and pass the time while undergoing treatments.
“I was so proud of our Interact members for the great job they did in preparing and leading our students in such a heart-warming project. Our high school students seemed to put much thought and love into the cards for the children at the hospital and accomplished so much working together,” says Interact Club Sponsor Karen Keese.
During chapel time, the WCS High School student body enthusiastically participated in creating 138 cards, which were delivered to patients at TCH over the weekend by Interact Club members.
“It was really fun to see everyone work so hard on it,” says Interact Club President Joseph Tillman.
“Thank you to our Interact Club members for planning and leading chapel last week,” says Principal Kaitlyn Ballard. “It was impactful to witness our students caring and loving on others through writing encouraging cards. I am extremely proud of our high school Wildcats and how they serve others!”
