On February 9, 2012, representatives from the Angels Murphys Rotary and a representative from the West Calaveras Rotary visited Copperopolis Elementary School bearing gifts.
As they were welcomed to Mrs Pino's third grade class the room was hushed with anticipation, oohs and ahhs were heard as Chief Jeff Millar opened the hardbound dictionaries to show the many full color pictures. Each child happily received their own dictionary and chatted among themselves as to what use they would put their new dictionary to and challenged each other with words to look up.
The next class visited was Mrs. Young's third grade classroom. These children were not expecting visitors and were surprised and excited at the news. They bubbled with ideas on how they would use their own dictionary. When Jesse Powers saw the color photos he excitedly announced "when I research dinosuars I can learn more now!" With that said, Chief Millar turned to the page that listed dinosaurs...a full page of pictures greeted a thrilled beyond words Jesse.
