EarlyAct FirstKnight (or EAFK) is a national award-winning, year-round program for elementary and middle school students that develops important social skills and high moral character. This program is sponsored by the Rockdale Rotary Club at Rockdale Intermediate School. According to Inclusion Aide Jessica Janak, “Each six weeks the staff and students focus on a character trait. Students are then nominated by peers and teachers in each class. The student receiving the most votes in each class is knighted at an EAFK ceremony.”
