Donor: New Brighton Lions Club
 

Our order of 23 boxes totaling 552 books will be presented to the 3rd graders in the Mounds View School District as follows:

Public Schools:

Bel Air Grade School, 102 books

Valentine Hills Grade School, 114 books

Turtle Lake Grade School, 160 books

Island Lake Grade School, 123 books

and Parochial School:

St. John the Baptist, 45 books

 

We purchase labels approximately 3 1/2` by 4`, and print the Lions logo on the label and the words, `This dictionary provided by the New Brighton Lions Club.`

 

We also prepare the letter, signed by the club president, to the parent of the third grade student.

 

The Chief of Police and/or the Fire Department attends the ceremony and presents to the children and shakes their hands.

 

Our small club is very proud of this participation.

 

 


We request that any clubs that have implemented the project send copies of the newspaper coverage or pictures that they want to share to: The Dictionary Project, Post Office Box 1845, Charleston, SC 29402 . Articles and photos will be added to the website to share with other clubs.
