Boone Rotary club presents dictionaries to Howe Elementary third graders

Thanks to the clubs’ dedication to youth literacy over the years, they have been able to provide a free dictionary to every third grader in Boone County! Boone Rotary has also been able to give each second grade teacher $1 per student for the months of February, March, April, and May in order to build personal libraries for each student. This helps to purchase books based on students’ personal interests and reading abilities. While this is a pilot project this year, the club hopes to continue the tradition of spreading the love of reading through new books. If you would like to donate to the Boone Rotary for the Scholastic Book Reading Initiative, contact Tish Germer at (515) 360-6428.
