BLAGDON PUPILS SAY ‘THANK YOU ROTARY’
As part of a long running programme the Rotary club of Chelwood Bridge donated Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries to Year 3 pupils at Blagdon Primary School. Following the presentation club members were invited to visit the school so that the children could show their gratitude. Three Rotarians were able to attend where they were entertained by a special programme of music and poetry prior to receiving an individual ‘thank you’ letter from each of the 18 recipients.
It was very gratifying to see the genuine pleasure that the children had in receiving and using the books and to know that there was still a place for the printed page in this digital age.
