Roger Corbett Elementary School, an at-risk school named for a former Reno Host Lion was adopted by our club in 1991. Activities which are part of the Lions Adopt-A-School program include:

• Student of the Month: Each month, a Roger Corbett student is named by the school principal and honored for his/her scholarship and good citizenship at a Lions Club meeting. Each student receives a T-shirt and memento.

• Reading Mentors: Lions volunteer many hours for reading to classes, while some have undertaken a more critical role to act as role models and mentors for children through the mentor program.

• Flag Day: Lions present American flags and communicate their love of our country to students in Lions Flag Day ceremonies in February.

• Soccer Team: Lions have coached the Roger Corbett soccer team for a number of years teaching citizenship as well as soccer.

• Games Day: Lions volunteer their time to assist in the games and serve a gourmet hamburger lunch to all the students of Roger Corbett.

• Junior Achievement: Lions teach lesson programs emphasizing business and the American free enterprise system. A highlight is preparation for job interviews and techniques for seeking employment.
