LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Rotary Club of Clear Lake announced that every second-grade student in the Konocti Unified School District has received a copy of the “The Story of KC and the Keep Well Kids Club … The Lost Island of Keytonia” book, a fun and engaging resource designed to help children learn about health, safety, and wellness.
Joan Jacobs, creator of the Keep Well Kids Wellness Program and author of the book, joined Rotary volunteers as they visited classrooms throughout the district.
Jacobs spent time with students, introducing them to the characters and themes of the book and sharing the importance of making healthy choices.
“The goal of the Keep Well Kids Wellness Program is to make learning about health and safety enjoyable and entertaining,” said Jacobs. “Seeing the students connect with the story is an incredible reminder of how powerful early education can be.”
As Jacobs spoke, students leaned in with curiosity and excitement — moments that deeply resonated with the Rotary volunteers who helped deliver the books.
Watching their faces light up reminds us why we do this — supporting young readers, inspiring imagination, and helping kids feel seen, valued and encouraged.
The Rotary Club of Clear Lake has long been committed to supporting youth literacy and wellness initiatives.
This distribution effort reflects the club’s ongoing mission to uplift local students and invest in programs that foster lifelong learning and community well-being.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Joan Jacobs and bring the ‘The Story of KC and the Keep Well Kids Club … The Lost Island of Keytonia’ to children across our district,” said Dennis Darling, member of the Rotary Club of Clear Lake. “These books aren’t just stories — they’re tools that help empower kids to make positive choices.”
