New Day Kiwanis Club Distributes Dictionaries to W.W. 3rd Graders Frank McLane chats with the students as he passes out dictionaries.       Mrs. Sawyers spoke for the teachers in thanking the club for their gift. Last year the dictionaries were presented to 3rd graders later in the year and she told how they had helped the students (and the teachers) as students could look things up for themselves. She said, "This year getting them early in the year is a great help." The Kiwanis International goal is to get a dictionary into the hands of all 3rd graders in the United States. Kiwanians Orland Hatfield, Brian Canady and Maynard Fowler pass out dictionaries to Western Wayne Elementary students Friday morning.
