Dictionaries given to third graders

Every year the Garfield Rotary Club sponsors a program called the Dictionary Project in which members of the club hand out dictionaries to all the third-grade students in their service district.

This project is sponsored annually by all Rotary Clubs in the area and helps support Rotary`s focus on literacy worldwide. This year the club gave out 78 dictionaries to four Wallington elementary schools. Not only does each student receive their own dictionary, but in turn, each student is encouraged, by this gift, to become more active readers and better writers.

If you would like more information about the Garfield Rotary Projects or wish to become a member, call President Dr. George Ngo at 973-777-7177.
