Dresden Elementary Holiday Book Project

Our District Grant ($1,500) for 2016-2017 enabled our Rotary Club of Dunwoody to continue providing a book for each child at the Title School, Dresden Elementary. A Literacy and Education project, 1,200+ books were purchased, prepared with Rotary labels, and distributed to K-5 students prior to the year-end holidays. The school is in an economically challenged area and this one special opportunity allows the children to have a book of their own. We have over 60 Rotarians gather at a meeting in Fall, 2016, to assemble the books, and place Rotary name plates and Character Counts bookmarks in each book to be distributed. This is the seventh year that students at Dresden have been receiving a book from the Rotary Club of Dunwoody. Then, for our Holiday Luncheon in December, we invite the Dresden Elementary School Choir to sing for this great event, and then treat them all to a Pizza Party upon their return to campus.
