Interact Club offers students the opportunity to reach out to the community by providing many service project opportunities and activities in and around Prosper.

“I’ve been a part of the club for since freshman year and I became really dedicated to it because I saw how important it was to a lot of people,” says Chloe Connelly, the club’s president. “As I kept participating more and more I really started to realize that it was something I wanted to be a part of and not just something I wanted to do every once in a while.”

This year the club has grown, which makes it easier for larger projects such as collections and street cleanup to be done.

“The club has been here for quite a few years but it hadn’t gotten really big with only a couple of returning members,” Connelly said. “This year it really picked up and it’s getting huge.”

The Interact Club has already had a busy first semester, including trips to the Settler’s Ridge Nursing Home in Celina and a collection of pet items for the McKinney SPCA to transport to the Houston area for families unable to provide for their pets as a result of Hurricane Harvey. It also works with the Prosper Rotary Club, the adult version of the Interact Club.

“Anybody can join Interact,” Connelly said. “It isn’t really a big time commitment but it all starts with coming to a meeting and checking it out. If you’re interested in joining the club, it may be a good idea to go with the Interact Club to a service project or activity and see if it is a good fit for you.”

To join the club, contact Mr. McCall, the club sponsor, in room 2209 and regularly attend meetings held every other Thursday during Eagle Time.
