Welcome to the Saratoga Interact Club!
Meetings every Wednesday during lunch in room 003 (Ms. Bohls' room).
What is Interact?
Interact is a Rotary sponsored community service club on campus that puts SERVICE ABOVE SELF and has created international phenomena. Interact stands for International Action, and each year we fund raise with schools around our area to work towards our international goal. Interact is one of the biggest international community service organizations in the world and in our school. Therefore, Interact is recognized by both domestic and international colleges!
We are part of District 5170, which is the LARGEST Interact district IN THE WHOLE WORLD. District 5170 consists of 13 areas and includes most of the bay area schools. Saratoga is under Area 11, along with Wilcox, Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Westmont, Cambrian Academy, and Prospect. Past Projects and Goals2008-2009 HYDRAID
