Plot twist: We LOVE those EUSD Trustee pay raises now. 😏

Escondido School Board Trustee Doug Paulson is donating $8,000 of his Board stipend to the Escondido Rotary After 5 Scholarship Fund to support EUSD grads going to college OR into a trade.

Our official position has evolved.

Thank you, Trustee Paulson, for investing right back into Escondido students! 👏🎓🔧

We always have more students in need if you would like to help us grow the fund.

We are proud to have sponsored the Orange Glen Conservation Crew over the past year. Through this youth mentoring and career development program, our members have worked with over 79 high school students at OGHS, introducing them to conservation work, outdoor recreation, and careers related to the environment. The big project has been planting trees, spreading mulch, controlling weeds and planning for the future at the new Bear Valley County Park at Bear Valley Pkwy and Birch. The group has recently started planting 50 high quality (15 gallon) trees on the Orange Glen High School campus. In all our students have completed over 1,000 hours of community service work.

Students have also done classes on park planning and participated in a three-day camping trip at Camp Marston in Julian. A great year for our youth. A great year for Rotary.
