Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Sarasota Foundation, the Mote Scientific Foundation and through the support of area Rotary Clubs, the Rotary Club of Sarasota will be presenting every first grader in Sarasota County with the book The Magic Fish and every fourth grader with a copy of the book Wonder. Teachers will also be receiving specialized toolkits full of interactive lessons and engaging content to teach the students overarching concepts of kindness, tolerance and civility, among others.
