As the academic school year comes to a close, we had the honor of recognizing local Sandy Springs students as recipients of the Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest!

One talented student even shared their essay with our club — and left the entire room inspired. These young people are a true reflection of the character and heart of our community. Sandy Springs should be so proud!

Congratulations to all of our award recipients!

A fantastic time at the Annual District Conference! We were honored to attend, connect with Rotarians from across the district, and gather new ideas for service, leadership, and community impact.

Thank you to the students of North Springs High School’s Shark Club for an inspiring presentation on your accomplishments and your heart for service. Your work to build kindness, engage the community, and lead projects that make a difference reflects the Rotary spirit of “Service Above Self.”

We loved hearing how Shark Club has grown from an idea into a student-led effort focused on community involvement, fundraising, and outreach. Thank you for sharing your story, your energy, and the many ways you are already making an impact in Sandy Springs.

The Rotary Club of Sandy Springs is proud to honor one of our own!

The E. Bentley, Sr. GRSP Leadership Award (2025–2026) has been presented to Joe Jones, Rotary Club of Sandy Springs, in recognition of his 35 years of service to the Georgia Rotary Student Program.

For those who may not know, the Georgia Rotary Student Program (GRSP) is a unique Rotary‑run scholarship program that brings international students to study for one academic year at Georgia colleges and universities. Through this experience, GRSP builds lifelong friendships, promotes cultural understanding, and advances Rotary’s mission of peace through education and international goodwill.

For 35 years, Joe has provided outstanding leadership and unwavering support to GRSP—helping connect students from around the world with our local colleges, families, and community. His dedication has touched countless lives and reflects the very heart of “Service Above Self.”

Please join us in congratulating Joe Jones on this well‑deserved honor and in celebrating the impact of GRSP on our club, our community, and our world! 👏🌍

🔬✨ What an incredible day at the STEAM Showcase! ✨🔬

Yesterday, the Sandy Springs Rotary Club was proud to partner with the Sandy Springs Education Force at North Springs High School for an amazing STEAM Showcase — and what an experience it was!

One of our most meaningful moments? Sharing the story of the Iron Lung and Rotary’s decades-long commitment to eradicating Polio worldwide. 💉 For today’s students, an iron lung is a history lesson — and that’s exactly the point. Because of the Polio vaccine and the tireless work of Rotary International and its partners, children today have never had to fear this disease. That’s a victory worth celebrating AND remembering.

Our own Sandy Springs Rotary President, Megan Harris, took a walk through the event — check out her video below for a glimpse of the creativity and curiosity on display! 🎥👇

A huge thank you to the Sandy Springs Education Force for organizing such an inspiring event, and to every student, teacher, and volunteer who made it unforgettable. 🙌

This is why we serve.
