Rotary Gives Third Graders Gift of Grammar

Oklahoma City – As part of their annual projects, the Oklahoma Rotary Club #29 is handing out a brand-new dictionary to every third grade student in the Oklahoma City Public Schools District.

           “The “Dictionary Project” enables us to give our students the tools to expand their vocabulary, grammar and their minds,” says Yecedra Daughty, Principal at Edgemere Elementary. “ We really appreciate this donation.”

“It’s a small gift that can make a big difference,” said Robert Clements, spokesperson for Oklahoma Rotary #29. “We are happy to help our children succeed.”

Rotary #29 is the oldest rotary club in Oklahoma. The group of business leaders and professionals conduct several community-based projects every year. Rotary members will be handing out the dictionaries at Edgemere Elementary at 3200 N Walker on Friday, October 6 at 10:30 A.M. Media is welcomed at the presentation.
