Rotary Club of Rutherford County

The Rotary Club of Rutherford County, represented by Jesse McKinney and Gene Hardin, visited Ellenboro School on Monday, March 4th.  As a part of the Rotary Club's project to promote literacy, each first grade student received a Junie B. Jones book.  This is a project the club has been doing for over 15 years, giving away approximately 1000 books to first grade students in Rutherford County each year.  It is funded by a golf tournament sponsored by the Rotary Club each year in May. 

   

During the presentation, Mr. McKinney asked several students to read a page from the book.

First grade students enjoy reading books from the Junie B. Jones series and want to thank the Rotary Club for their new books!
