Morrisville Rotary Distributes Dictionaries

Morrisville Rotary is presenting dictionaries from the South Carolina based Dictionary Project to third graders at Eden, Craftsbury, Elmore, Hyde Park, Greensboro, Johnson, Morrisville, Bishop Marshall, Wolcott, and Woodbury Elementary Schools. At each school, Rotarians give a short presentation and share the many sections of these multi-use books with the students. The shared goal of the Dictionary Project and Rotarians is “to assist all students to become good writers, active readers and creative thinkers by providing students a gift of their own personal dictionary.” Source: The Stowe Reporter (www.stowetoday.com) ________________________________ More about the Rotary Club of Morrisville: Rotarian Marcia Marble notes, “Organized in 1927, the Rotary Club of Morrisville, VT continues to be involved in our region wide community!
