Fifth-graders learn life skills from Rotary mentors

WASHOUGAL — Hathaway Elementary School fifth-graders learned some life skills as part of the Camas-Washougal Rotary Club’s Young Men in Action program. The program goes over topics such as friendship, health, decision making, hygiene, money management, careers and manners in age-appropriate ways. The boys and their male mentors met for two hours and concentrated on a different topic each week for seven weeks, with field trips to the Washougal Fire Department and in-classroom instruction. The Rotary’s Young Women in Action program for Hathaway fifth-graders took place in the spring.
