Nov. 17-21, 2014 Delivering Dictionaries to Local 3rd Graders

Participating in Rotary International's drive to support literacy, CCV Rotarians visited 13 Parker Elementary schools to deliver over 1230 dictionaries to 3rd graders this year.  Rotarians asked each student to write their name in the dictionary to know that these are gifts to each child - for them to have and use as their own resource.  Then, we challenged the students to look up and report meanings for words like "clue" to help them get practice right away.  We hope this is the beginning of expanded fun with words for our Parker 3rd graders!
