Primary school pupils earn Rotary Club star certificates


Due to Covid limitations, it was a scaled back version of the annual Rotary Stars Awards held each year for children who have faced adversity or done a lot for their community, school and family.
On the morning of May 13, President of the Rotary Club of Sleaford Barbara Roberts, visited the William Alvey Primary School in town, where four Rotary Stars had been nominated.
