2012 CREST School Donation
The Rotary Club of Crystal River donated $5000 to the Crest Playground Project on Monday January 9, 2012. The Crest school serves students with severe disabilities from all over Citrus county with ages from birth to age twenty-two. Students who attend Crest are classified as having an Intellectual Disability or an Emotional Behavioral Disability and under these two disability classifications are students with physical disabilities, autism, conduct disorder, compulsive disabilities, speech and language disabilities and more. One hundred percent of the students at Crest have some form of disability and twelve percent are in wheelchairs. The current state of the playground makes it hard for the wheelchair bound students to access the play areas and the wheelchair accessible equipment is in disrepair. The Rotary Club of Crystal River’s donation is just a fraction of the funds needed to give the children a place to develop their social skills and have outdoor activity. Spearheading the fund raising for the school is Kelly Daugherty a teacher at Crest. Thanks to a Rotary International grant and the participation of Kings Bay Rotary, The Rotary Club of Crystal River hopes that this donation will be just the beginning of the fund raising for the Crest Playground Project. The Crystal River Rotary participates in many local and international projects such as Upward Bound, the Literacy Project, Stop Hunger Now, Blessings in a Backpack, Imagination Library, the Dictionary Project, and the Children’s Christmas Shop to name a few. Any one or group that would like to help with the Crest Playground Project should contact: Kelly Daugherty 352-527-0303 daughertyk@citrus.k12.fl.us
