Word of the Day: Impact
im·pact / ˈimˌpakt/ noun:
1. come into forcible contact with another object
“A moment of impact has potential for change—it has ripple effects far beyond what we could predict.” Nicholas Sparks, 1965 –
2. a strong effect on someone or something
“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” Jackie Robinson, 1919 – 1972
The Rotary Club of Green Tree recognizes that third grade is a pivotal time for children who are leaning to read and write. Having a dictionary for the child’s own use helps them immensely. Since starting the project in 2008, members have made a lasting impact on the lives of over 2,500 students in Allegheny County by donating a personal dictionary.
Throwback Thursday: Members of the Green Tree Rotary delivered dictionaries to 325 third-grade students at six area elementary schools in October 2013.
