Our
Toronto-Don Mills Rotary Club, is one of several Rotary Clubs in
North York. We
work together on some projects and have some of our own which
include:
- Our “dictionary project”, involved giving every grade 5 student at Daystrom Public School their very own Miriam Webster’s dictionary. For many students, this was the first book that they ever owned and this will help support their continued reading and improved literacy.
- Each year we sponsor 2 elementary school classes to participate in Who is Nobody which is a character building, anti-bullying, literacy project.
