Rotary Foundation funds student-run radio station
The Plymouth Rotary Foundation recently awarded a $200,000 check to the Plymouth Canton Community School District and WSDP Radio, after the student-run and operated station successfully met the Rotary Challenge Grant for a total project value of more than $500,000. WSDP Radio, an award-winning student station, plays a vital role in preparing students for careers in broadcasting and other industries, a Rotary spokesman said. The station Amplification Capital Campaign, made possible by the Rotary grant, will renovate existing space into a cutting-edge broadcasting facility. Among those celebrating the grant were student station members, Superintendent of Plymouth Canton Schools Monica Merrit, Rotary Foundation Board members and retiring Station Manager Bill Keith.
