Rotary Clubs all over the country and especially here in Modesto take this day seriously by distributing special, comprehensive dictionaries to every 3rd grade student in the area-wide school system. This tradition with Rotary began about 15 years ago nationwide and 11 years ago here in the Modesto school system. Beginning with 1 club, Modesto Sunrise Rotary and since branching out to include all 4 clubs and all the schools in the area.
