Dictionary Project is a Big Hit with 3rd Graders!

The Excelsior Rotary Club has now distributed over 350 dictionaries to 3rd Graders in the Minnetonka Public Schools and the three private schools of Our Saviors, St. John's and St. Therese.  Last week our Club's Team visited four schools and presented each 3rd grader with their own dictionary to keep!  The various teams then did a lesson plan with the students with all of the Rotarians taking on part in the teaching lesson.

Excelsior Rotary President Karen Frazier said, "It's hard to tell who is having the most fun; the students or our teams of Rotarians!"  The children have been enthusiastic and are very excited to have their own personal dictionary.  Both the administrators and teachers at the various schools are enjoying watching our Team teach the dictionary lesson and think it is a great thing to do for the kids. Last week the teams visited St. Therese, Clear Springs, Groveland and Our Savior's Schools.  This week various teams will visit Deephaven, Excelsior and Scenic Heights.  The teams also hope to get to Minnewashta and St Hubert's this week.  (Pictured above is the Team at Groveland with Don Draayer, Bob Pillsbury, Dick Glover and Karen and Steve Frazier.)
