Club Receives Grant for Dictionaries in Schools

The Newport Rotary Club has received a grant from the Newport Pig Cooking Contest to continue it's Dictionaries in Schools distribution for local third graders for the 2013-14 school year. The club was notified by letter of its acceptance on December 11, 2012.

Newport Rotary pioneered a County-wide Dictionaries in School event for all county second graders in 1997-1998, and got all county Rotary clubs involved. The 2012-13 dictionary distribution (now to third graders at Newport Elementary, Gramercy and Grace Baptist schools) is pending for this month.
