Rotary Club donates dictionaries to GCISD students
Third-grade students at Cannon Elementary: A GCISD STEM School, Silver Lake Elementary School and Timberline Elementary School received a surprise gift from the Southlake Rotary Club. Rotarians visited these three GCISD schools to present each third-grader with his or her own copy of a student dictionary. Students responded with excitement for their gift, and they were eager to look up definitions and even gave their personal book a small hug.
“We are so grateful for passionate and committed community organizations like the Rotary Club that support the development of integrity and service,” said Dr. Shannon Cole, Silver Lake ES principal. “The annual donation of dictionaries for the Silver Lake third graders is an experience that they will not forget, and will be a tool for students as they hone their literacy skills.”
The dictionary donations are part of the Rotary’s participation in The Dictionary Project to promote literacy.
