Rotary's Dictionaries For Life Presented to the Seven First Schools in Whitley Bay
In recent months, the Rotary Club of Whitley Bay has been raising funds from local projects to purchase a ‘Dictionary For Life’ to present as end of year gifts to our first school leavers in Whitley Bay.
Before the end of the summer term during the month of July, members of the club delivered to each school a present for the students upon their graduation as prepare to move on to middle school.
Each final year pupil received their own named illustrated dictionary from this year's club president, John Clarkson who said, "Whitley Bay Rotary Club, founded in 1923, has been supporting the local community for many years. I am delighted that we have once again been able to support four hundred and seven young pupils with Dictionaries For Life this July. This is the sixth year we have completed this project and I'm sure these books will be an invaluable educational reference for many years to come and will help to support the developing skills of the next generation."
Fourteen club members delivered the books to each of the seven schools taking part. This is the sixth year that the club has been able to organise this annual project and it is hoped that in future years the club will be able to continue to present the dictionaries to all first schools in the Whitley Bay area.
