VOLUNTEER
You can help label and sort the dictionaries a couple of weeks before distribution day. Sorting headquarters is the Rockford Board of Education warehouse at 2000 Christina Street. Snacks and drinks are provided for all the volunteers. If you or your group is interested in helping, click on the Board page and e-mail Mrs. Mahan at leslie.mahan@comcast.net


The committee would like to recognize the groups that assisted in "Sorting Day 2009". Fifty volunteers labeled and then repackaged over 2,000 dictionaries in classroom sets. Boxes for the classrooms were labeled with the name of the teacher and then sorted by schools.
