Dictionary Project
As part of our recent commitment to begin spending meeting times on service projects, tonights meeting spent a good portion of time on the Dictionary Project. Each 3rd grader in Irondequoit will get a free dictionary and tonight we placed Irondequoit Rotary Stickers and Bookmarks in all the books. It's was amazing that we ended up with the same number of boxes as we started filled with books but still had several books leftover....loaves and fishes for good work???
B.J. Cunningham says a schedule for book distribution to the 3rd grade classes is forthcoming. See Dictionary Project Photo Album for more pictures of tonight's project.
