The
Kiwanis Club of the Peninsula at Oyster Point is a
partner in education
with L. F. Palmer Elementary School. On October 25,
2007, the Club had "Dictionary Day" and gave a new hard cover dictionary to every student in the fourth grade at
Palmer Elementary School, to the students currently
in fifth grade who did not attend Palmer last year,
and to new fourth and fifth grade teachers. Newport
News School Board member Pat Woodbury joined the club
to make the presentations. This is the third year that
the club has provided dictionaries to the fourth grade
students and teachers. Pictured left, Community Service
Chairman for the Kiwanis Club of the Peninsula at Oyster
