This happy group of third graders at St. Mary / St. Michael School were thrilled with their new dictionaries.
Derby-Shelton Rotarians have made it an annual habit to assist in the education of all third graders in Derby and Shelton since 2003. Each year members of the club take time to visit each of the public and private grammar schools in the two towns and present each of the third graders with their own dictionary! Kim Ryan-Caro who coordinates the program each year reports that 424 dictionaries were given out this year by the following volunteers:
Shelton
Booth Hill School – Liza Gambino
Elizabeth Shelton School – Joe & JoAnn Shapiro and Gary Scarpa
Long Hill School – Lucy Andrade and Sharon Herman
Mohegan School – Carolyn Dow
Sunnyside – Gayle Kreho
Derby
Bradley School – Linda Homes-Hannon
St. Mary/St. Michael – Jack Walsh
