Tarr, who is chair of School District 53, mentioned a couple school-oriented projects she would like Rotary to become involved with – one directed at the youngest elementary school children and the other following up on concerns raised previously about mental health issues some students, especially girls, face at the high school level. Tarr, who is originally from South Africa, would like to see Rotary be involved in an international health project in that country. (Richard McGuire photo)
