Interact Club
Students interested in making a difference in their community are welcome to join Interact Club. It is a club dedicated to making an impact on the world, both local and global. Run by Elosie Guarisco and Rachel Gerber, juniors, the club meets every other Thursday in E203, and is advised by Andy West, English teacher. Associated with the Rotary Club of West Linn, this club focuses on how high school students can make a difference by volunteering or raising money for a cause they are passionate about.
A few weeks ago, Interact Club partnered with Clay Street Table, a food pantry located near Portland State University.
“Every month, we go and make a big meal, we pack lunches, and then we go out to a spot and serve it to the community,” Gerber said. “So, we're actually interacting with the community.”

Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
