RIO RICO, AZ — Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35 (SCV35) extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Rio Rico Rotary Club for its generous annual donation of brand new personal dictionaries to every third grade student across the district.
The annual distribution has become a beloved district tradition that third graders anticipate all year long. Upon receiving their personal copies, students immediately dove into the books to explore their contents, discovering interactive sign language charts, looking up the longest words in the English language, and diving into reference sections detailing the solar system, geography, and world facts.
These dictionaries do far more than assist with definitions; they inspire natural curiosity, support vocabulary development, and provide students with a personal learning resource they can use throughout their elementary years and beyond.
The partnership between SCV35 and the Rio Rico Rotary Club underscores a shared commitment to fostering early childhood literacy, expanding learning opportunities, and empowering local youth. By equipping every third grade student with their own reference guide, the Rotary Club helps build the foundational reading and communication skills essential for long term academic success.
SCV35 deeply appreciates the Rio Rico Rotary Club for its continued investment in the growth, achievement, and bright futures of Santa Cruz Valley students.
