S. Presidents, and facts about our fifty United States and other countries as well; plus many other useful and interesting areas.
The thirty-five student dictionaries we distributed will be a treasured reference book. As a point of interest, one student, when receiving his dictionary and bein...

Third-graders at Lincoln Elementary got a present Tuesday morning from the Sunrise Rotary Club, as well as a quick lesson on how to use their new gift.

The present was a brand new Scholastic Dictionary for each student.
There was an excited buzz in the room as club members Bill McLellan, Chris Wormuth and Pam Price handed a colorful dictionary to each student.
After the books were handed out, Price heard a softly-asked question and asked the student to repeat it so the whole class could hear it.
The question was simple: `Do we have to pay for this?`

The real excitement, however, was the Rotarians who distributed them . They mentioned that it was the best local project they ever did, mainly because the kids were so excited about receiving them.
