Rotary Delivers Dictionaries

The entire third grade class at Lincoln Street School gratefully accepted the gift of new dictionaries recently, donated by Will and Susan Murphy.  Dictionaries are donated each year to every third grader in Tehama County through a long-time program of the Red Bluff Rotary Club.  

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy shared inspirational words and wisdom with the students as they presented them with their new dictionaries.  Tehama County Superintendent of Schools, Larry Champion, and Deputy Superintendent, Charles Allen, also assisted with the presentation.

“The Rotary Club dictionary donations are a highly anticipated event for third grade students,” said Lincoln Street School teacher, Dana Brent.   “Both students and staff greatly appreciate community partners, like the Rotary Club, who work together to promote learning and enrich the lives of our students.”
