For their first stop, the Rotary Club went to Grace Christian Academy where a class of 23 was able to receive dictionaries.
Posadas also shared with students the Rotary Club’s Four-Way Test, which is an ethical guide for Rotarians for their personal and professional relationships.
According to Posadas, they have more than 700 dictionaries now but will need to order more.
“It’s our target to distribute everything before the year ends,” Posadas said.
He added that they will also be giving away dictionaries to some of the third graders last year—who are now fourth graders—who didn’t get one.
Tinian Grace Christian Academy and Agape School in Saipan ended classes last year before Rotary Club was able to schedule a distribution.
For school year 2014-2015, Rotary distributed a total of 886 dictionaries to nine public schools and 11 private schools.
