For the sixth year running, the Rotary Club of Wylde Green has supported the national literacy programme with their Dictionary For Life project. Education is a priority for Rotary and the project enables year six pupils in local schools to be given dictionaries which they can keep for life. This year, the club has donated 214 dictionaries to pupils at Penns, Walmley Ash, Wylde Green and Yenton primary schools.
Mark Cadwallader, Headteacher at Yenton Primary School commented: “It is wonderful to be working in partnership with Wylde Green Rotary Club to advance our children’s learning. The fabulous dictionaries awarded to our year six pupils will support their future education."
Youth Chairman, Arthur Law said: "At Rotary, we’re for communities and we recognise that today’s young people are the leaders of the future. So I am very pleased that we have been able – thanks to the generosity of local people – to donate dictionaries to local school pupils again this year. The Dictionary for Life project seeks to encourage independent learning and stimulate an interest in language, books and reading. We hope that the dictionaries will help the pupils not only now, but also when they go onto the next stages of their education and beyond."
The Rotary Club of Wylde Green runs a varied and interesting range of activities throughout the year at local, national and international level.
