The Rotary Club of San Juan Island recently presented Dictionaries to 3rd grade, Thesauruses to 4th grade, and Gazetteers to 5th grade students at Friday Harbor Elementary School.
Rotary has been giving personal dictionaries to Friday Harbor students since 2008, coordinated by Barbara Fagan, Rotary Literacy Chairperson.
The goal of the Dictionary Project is to assist students to become good writers, active readers and creative thinkers.
Rotary is encouraged to see our students excited and having fun as they explore words, maps, sign-language and much more in their books.
Rotary International is an organization of people united worldwide who provide humanitarian service and help to build goodwill and peace in the world. The Rotary Club of San Juan Island (Friday Harbor) meets every Wednesday at 8:00 am at the Friday Harbor House. Membership info at this link.
