Dictionary Project

Seven teams of Rotarians distributed more than 1,100 dictionaries to  students and teachers in 18 public, private, and charter  schools in Henderson County during the weeks of Oct 17  and Oct 24.   

The project is named in memory of Sky Polega, an honor  graduate of Hendersonville High who exemplified the Rotary  motto of "Service above self" and was active in the  Hendersonville Rotary Club and its projects. Her Rotary  mentor, former educator Jim Finch, spearheaded the project  some twenty years ago. The annual project is one of many  the club participates in to enhance County youth educational programs.

2022 marked the twentieth year the Rotary Club of  Hendersonville has provided a dictionary for every third  grader in Henderson County as part of its annual "Sky  Polega Gift of Knowledge" project.
