Skylands Rotary Club Thanks Dictionary Project Sponsors
The Skylands Rotary Club graciously thanks the sponsors of it's 2020-21 Dictionary Project campaign:
- Mount Olive Schools: Amazon
- Byram School: Live The Lake NJ
- Netcong School: Fulton Bank
- Stanhope School: CrownPoint Group
"These sponsors will help us not only deliver dictionaries to third-graders in four towns, but will support 8th grade awards and college scholarships too," said Club Vice President Bob Hathaway. "Thank you again to all our sponsors for their contributions and thank you to our dedicated Rotarians for executing this amazing service project."
Additional funding for this project was also provided by Rotary International District 7475.
About The Dictionary Project:
The goal of this program is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn, so we encourage our sponsors to give dictionaries each year to children in the third grade.
