On October 4, 2019, The Rotary Club Of Bonita Beach Sunset participated in a district wide effort to delivery a dictionary to every 3rd grade student. Member of the club handed out Dictionaries to 7 Third Grade Classrooms at Rayma C Page Elementary School.
The distribution of the dictionaries is a part of the Dictionary Project’s (www.dictionaryproject.org) mission which is: “… to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary.”
During the delivery, Rotary members helped children understand what a dictionary is and how to use it.
The dictionary contains: a complete dictionary of words; information about the U.S. Presidents, Maps of the seven continents, information about the 50 states, Weights and Measures, Sign language, and much more.
Upon passing out the books in one of the classrooms one of the children excitedly exclaimed, “Oh Cool! Can we use these during our spelling test today?”
Our club is pleased to be a part of this Literacy Program and we know that the dictionaries are appreciated and used. If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the community, check out our club, we meet the 2nd and the 4th Tuesdays of each month fro 5:30 to 7:30 at Backwater Jacks - In Bonita Bay 276598 Marina Pointe Dr. Bonita Springs, FL 34134.
