Mount Shasta Union School District

Annually, Rotary provides each of our third graders with a brand new picture dictionary.  We look forward to Rotarians coming to our library and hosting each of our third grade classes.  They talk to our students about the role Rotary plays in our community, and they emphasize the importance of our students developing a strong vocabulary.  Rotarian Mike Rodriguez enjoys guiding students in using the dictionaries for the first time.  Our students benefit from the instruction and soon are off on their own looking up words or paging through the dictionary looking at pictures and the matching definitions.  The Rotarians even go so far as to offer to sign inside the front cover of the dictionaries to truly personalize the students' experience.
