BRIDGTON — The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club is continuing its dictionary program. Rotarians on Nov. 14 distributed dictionaries to each of the children in the three third grades at Stevens Brook Elementary School.
Rotarian and Project Team Leader Erin Nelson of Norway Savings Bank remarked, “This has been an important project for me, my family and the Rotary Club for 10 years now. We wondered about continuing it in this day of electronics, but in the end, we decided to put a book, a dictionary, in the hands of children. It can be used with the Literacy Program we are supporting at SBES and by classroom teachers who use dictionaries in the classroom,” according to a news release from the school.
The next school to receive dictionaries will be the Crooked River Elementary School. The books will be distributed to students in the four third grade classrooms there.
Those who have a project and seek resources to implement it can email LakeRegionRotary@gmail.com.
