Dictionaries for Third Grade Students

Early in each calendar year, FH Rotary Club presents a personal dictionary book to every third grade student in the Fountain Hills elementary schools.  In addition to the dictionary, each book also contains a gazetteer made up of the following topics –

• Table of Weights and Measures
• The Declaration of Independence
• The United States Constitution
• Maps of the seven continents
• Information about the 50 states
• Biographies of the U.S. presidents
• Facts about the eight planets in the solar system

Thus, every student receives a useful reference book.  Each book includes an inside front cover nameplate to identify the owner. Some of these books are also designated as presented in the name of a past program presenter to our club. The books are often valued by the students for several ensuing years.
