Marietta Performance Learning Center

The Marietta Performance Learning Center is an alternative school for children in the Marietta School System who have different needs than do many of the students on the normal track. For some it is additional demands on their time from home life issues or work. Others have fallen behind in school and are able to take courses at a faster rate to graduate on time or to graduate ahead of time. RCOM works with the PLC to fill in the gaps in their learning environment. We provide incentive gift cards each year to the teachers to both use in the classroom and to use as rewards for students who are excelling. RCOM also collected approximately 100 shirts and ties for the students. RCOM also does job shadowing for the students. Rotarians sign up and let one or more of the students come and shadow the Rotarian on their job. This is a great learning experience for the students and expands their horizons greatly. Finally, this year we invited 20 PLC students to go to a brunch at the Georgian Club as quests of Rotarians. Their meals were covered and they were exposed to another great learing experience.
