Tuesday, September 17, 2019 was "Dictionary Day" for the Third Graders of the Denville School System.  For the past 19 years, the Rotary Club of Denville and the Sunrise Rotary Club of Denville have been sponsors of The Dictionary Project.  As sponsors, we purchase and give a dictionary as a gift to every third grade student at Riverview and Lakeview Schools. To date we have distributed over 4100 Dictionaries. Third grade is a time to open up language to children and improve reading and writing skills with the use of a dictionary.
 
Shown above is a picture from Riverview School with third graders Ben Sarama, Anne Ciaravolo, Charlie Zampiro, Mackenzie Doyle, Ava Graziano, Jake Sabel, Maria Monteiro and Matthew Titze.  Kneeling in front is Past President of the Rotary Club of Denville George Hrobuchak, who leads the project for the clubs.
