Several media outlets covered some aspect of Rotary Sunrise to mark Literacy Month, whether it was the Adopt-a-Library program at Bodden Town Primary School, the dictionary distribution, or the other activities the club will undertake to promote literacy such as the “Buy a Kid a Book” program, school debates, classroom reading, and the Butterfly Storybook essay competition.
