The Rotary Club in Crookston gave students at Highland School the chance to purchase a book through a generous donation.
It is a long-standing tradition in Crookston third-grade classrooms that the Rotary Club supports and encourages lifelong learning and literacy by donating dictionaries to each student. Throughout the years, Mary and Don Cavalier have visited with hundreds of students, teaching them about dictionaries and how to use this valuable tool in their educational lives.
The Crookston Rotary Club decided to give a monetary donation to each classroom for the purchase of a book for each student. Students at Highland were each given an opportunity to “shop” for their book through their Scholastic book order. The books arrived last week, and there was much excitement among the students as they received their own books to take home.
