St. Lucie County Third Graders Receive Free Dictionaries From Local Rotary Clubs

Dec. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- The PSL Sunset Rotary in conjunction with other local Rotary clubs deliver over 4000 dictionaries each year to third graders throughout St Lucie County as a part of their annual dictionary distribution.  As school budgets get slimmer and slimmer, classrooms struggle to offer students tools that will engage and educate them.  One thing that they can depend on, though, is the commitment of these Rotary Clubs to make sure that the dictionary program does not get left behind. Each third grader is presented with a free dictionary, courtesy of the Rotary and directions on how to use it.  

This program continues year after year and the enjoyment it brings to the children continues as well.  The presentation to the third graders always sparks their sleuthing skills as they immediately begin to hunt down words and interact with the Rotary members.  During the presentation, the children also learn about the Rotary and it's commitment to helping children around the world.

Community involvement is an important issue for Rotarians and they have a special focus on kids.  From continued efforts to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters and the CASTLE program to endorsing new programs like the “Joe the Biker” Anti-bullying program, the PSL Sunset Rotary stays busy and is always in need of new members and volunteers.  

Rotary clubs like all service organizations depend on their members to help them make the magic happen in their community. The PSL Sunset Rotary is ready to sponsor new members. Please call Larry Breault at 772-871-1100 x201 for more information on becoming a member of the Rotary and making a difference in the life of a child.
