Rotarians' dictionaries make pupils word perfect

Posted by Ed Saunt on Jul 3, 09 04:05 PM in Charity/voluntary

Feltham Rotary Club has delivered over 600 illustrated dictionaries to Year 5 children in schools throughout Feltham, Bedfont and Hanworth.

Over the last two weeks, local Rotarians visited 10 schools in the area and gave each child a dictionary to keep as part of a Rotary international literacy scheme.

Last Wednesday they visited Victoria Junior School in Feltham where Rotarian Daphne Cass assisted by Rosemary Gibbs distributed the dictionaries at a school assembly that coincided with a Class 5 concert for parents.

The dictionaries have been provided by the Rotary Club of Feltham from funds raised locally through a grant from The Office of the Third Sector managed by the Thames Community Foundation.

We'd like to hear from you.
