Supporting Education and Literacy
The Rotary Club of Brampton Flower City Centennial is committed to supporting basic education and literacy through practical initiatives. Club members recently answered a call for support and donated 200 soft-cover Canadian edition Webster's dictionaries with a Rotary logo on the front cover to Carberry Public School in Brampton, Ontario. These dictionaries not only teach correct spelling and spelling patterns, but also foster reading comprehension and enable young students to acquire a broader vocabulary. By looking up just one word, students inadvertently expose themselves to many other words, their meanings, uses, and other valuable information. Through this act of generosity, the Rotary Club of Brampton Flower City Centennial has made a meaningful contribution to the education and lifelong learning of these students, inspiring them to reach for their full potential.
Our club’s efforts were recently recognized in the November 2023, school newsletter, the Carberry Chronicles – “Rotary Club donates FREE dictionaries! All grade 3 students will be receiving a free dictionary as part of the Dictionary Program sponsored by the Rotary Club of Brampton Flower City Centennial. We thank Mr. Dhaman Kissoon (President), and Mr. Peter Scaramuzzo (Past-president) for contributing to the learning of Carberry’s students.”
