Dictionaries for 3rd Graders

Mary Jo Laube came home from visiting her children in northern Wisconsin with a great idea for us to help the 3rd graders in their education. Each summer we raise as much money as possible selling cheese curds and use part of the funds to purchase pocket sized dictionaries for the new 3rd graders each year. This has been a great project for us. Not only do the students, parents, and teachers love it, but it is also a great way to get the club's name out there!

Here is our Brodhead Memorial Library Librarian, Gloria Rosa, and Mary Jo Laube (both Optimist members) personalizing

the dictionaries for the students before the formal presentation to them.
