Third Grade Literacy Project

The Rotary Club of Edina’s Youth Service Committee seeks volunteers for its third-grade literacy project. Read below for school location and volunteer details.

As part of the project, Rotarians read the book Andy & Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure to local students and discuss ethics with them. Andy & Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure is the story of a young entrepreneur who starts an apple dumpling business. With the guidance of a mysterious voice conveying the Four-Way Test, he turns his venture into a wonderful success and makes friends along the way.

The book was jointly published by the Rotary Club of Fairborn, Ohio, and TokoBooks and is now the center of a literacy project for Rotary clubs across the country.

Rotarian volunteers are needed to read the book to classes and distribute copies of the book to students. The reading will be at Concord Elementary School, 5900 Concord Ave. Ten volunteers are needed. Register below to volunteer. Plan to arrive before 11:45 a.m. to allow time for check-in and finding the classroom.
