Giving Dictionaries to Third Graders

Once again this year, South Sacramento Rotary is happy to provide third graders at seven schools with their own dictionaries. Members always enjoy going into classrooms and sharing in the excitement as students thumb through their books and become acquainted with all the gifts inside. Pictures above with students are Anne Hasbrook (left), Aniceto Balingit (center), and Liz Long. On January 23, Rotarians visited four schools. They will do the remaining three next week.

Joy in Kindergarten

On December 23, members of South Sacramento Rotary preented all the kindergarteners at three schools their very own copy of Mercer Mayer's I Just Forgot. The excitement was catching as the children talked about the pictures and pondered over what might have been forgotten.

A Special Monday!

On Monday, December 5, South Sacramento honored education by not only recognizing its Luther Burbank December Student of the Month, Yovanna Aguilera, but also hearing about Ambassadorial Scholar Aashika Damodar's experiences at Cambridge and her future plans.
