Tuesday,October 16 was DictionaryDay at the Scott M. Ellis Elementary School. Each third-grade student was given a brand-new dictionary, courtesy of the Greenville Rotary Club. A dictionary scavenger hunt and other games followed. The dictionaries are used by students and teachers throughout the year. Ellis Principal Peter Mahan assures our club that the printed books arestill valuable, even in this era of digital dependence. Pictured are Rotarians Barbara Licata and Patty Ublacker distributing the dictionaries to students.
