Michele Tine and Elaine Pavasaris visited Miss Kozyrski's third grade class at St Paul School in Kensington on February 4, 2013. The Rotarians led the class in the Pledge of Allegiance, discussed the Rotary motto of Service Above Self and then presented the hardbound Scholastic dictionaries to each student. The students then wrote their name inside the dictionary and were encouraged to share the "Gift of Words" with their parents. Third grader Rielly Pavasaris, exclaimed "This is the best dictionary ever"! Thanks Rotary! |
