On Monday, members from the Hilo Rotary Club stopped by to visit Papa ‘Ekolu for a special delivery. They brought with them 40 student dictionaries! All the keiki were so very excited to receive their very own mini sized dictionaries. They learned that the longest word in the English language is 1,909 letters long, as well as the symbols for American Sign Language. Who knew a dictionary could provide this type of information?!
The Rotary Club members taught us that they are able to donate these dictionaries to 3rd graders around the island because of their yearly Hilo Huli event. This event’s proceeds go to making the community a better place for all. The next one will take place at Coconut Island on May 1st, 2016. Reserve your tickets today!
Mahalo nui Hilo Rotary Club!
