Third Graders Receive Dictionaries from Rainier Lions

The Rainier Lions made its’ annual visit to Rainier area third graders delivering dictionaries this week  .  Last week they visited  Eagle View School  third grade and Phoenix Rising School combined third and forth graders.

This is a ongoing  program adopted by most Lions clubs from coast to coast. They are not only dictionaries ,  more like miniature encyclopedia  filled with information about our country, world and universe.  It includes the longest word in the English language - with 1,907 letters, biographies of our presidents, math tables, countries of the world, braille & sign language alphabets and The Declaration of Independence and more.....

Pictured are Lions Linda Lazelle, Bud Green, George Johnson, Art Runyon and Terri  Rendahl  and the classes of Rainier third graders who received their dictionaries this week.

Our Lion’s Club will present the Dictionaries to the 3^rd Graders at Rainier Elementary School on Monday, September 23^rd at around 9:00 a.m.  We will arrive at the school around 8:30 AM..  I understand that there are 2 classes of 26 students in each class.  We will bring a few extras for teachers and possible new students.

We plan to go directly to Eagle View Christian School and present dictionaries to their third grade class at 10:30 AM.  Any Rainier Lion Club member who wishes to attend please contact the Dictionary Chair, Linda Lazelle.  

We are looking forward to this!

Thank You Cards From: Eagle View Christian School

The third grade students from Eagle View Christian School had their "THANK YOU" cards for the Rainier Lions Club all ready when we arrived to deliver their dictionaries.

All of the children signed both cards.  To respect their privacy, the children's signatures were not scanned for public display on our blog. 

After KL George Johnson gave his presentation and the children thumbed through their dictionaries, we were presented with 2 thank you's from the third grade class.  Both thank you cards were hand made.  

In closing, one of the students said a prayer for the Rainier Lions Club (& us).  This was touching and means a lot to George and me.  

A special THANK YOU goes out to all of the children, staff and parents of the Eagle View Christian School for granting us permission to present dictionaries to the third grade students.

George and I treasure the memories  we share with you.  Going to your school is a wonderful  experience.  

On card was very large.  I scanned an image of the inside thank you, so you can read it here:
