A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

Rotary Clubs of Georgetown County mark 10 years of Dictionary Project

 For the 10th consecutive year the five Rotary clubs of Georgetown County have joined forces to provide dictionaries to all third grade students in the Georgetown County School District. Rotary Clubs in Andrews, Georgetown, Georgetown Breakfast, Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island purchased more than 1,000 dictionaries this year. ‘I can’t think of a better investment Rotary can make than providing our young people with one of the tools they need to get a quality education,’ Alan Walters said.
