A teacher from one of our schools, St. Athanasius, wrote to the Knights to say that some of her students had told her that these dictionaries were the first presents they had ever received, ever.

Susan Folkson, principal, Rushmore Avenue School, Carle Place, NY
For the past several years the Westbury-Carle Place Rotary Club has welcomed my third grade students back to school with dictionaries of their own. This year Cathy Handy, Julian Huertas and Larry Boes presented the dictionaries to my 106 students who excitedly began flipping through the pages.
