Donor: Anoka Area Rotary Club and Connexus Energy
 

Third grade students in St. Francis Independent School District 15 received a dictionary on Monday, November 9. The national Dictionary Project, headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, is sponsored locally by the Anoka Area Rotary Club and Connexus Energy. According to local sponsors, `Dictionaries put words into the hands of children so that they can express their thoughts and appreciation for each other.` In 2008, the goal was to distribute 4,170,598 dictionaries nationwide. This year`s goal is to top that number. ISD 15 parent Luanne Kane, who is also a member of the Anoka Area Rotary Club and a representative from Connexus Energy, delivered 400 dictionaries to ISD 15 students. The inside cover of the dictionary included a sponsor sticker that was placed by volunteer students from Transition 15, an ISD 15 program.
