Letter to the Editor: Rotary Effort to get Dictionaries in the Hands of Third graders

Dear Editor,

Annually, for the past 17 years, the Buena Vista Rotary Club has distributed dictionaries to third graders at Avery-Parsons Elementary School (and in Leadville and Fairplay, as well).  The free dictionaries have always been well-received by students and teachers.

 

This year, in-class participation is down.  Many students are home schooling.  As a result, our Rotary Club has made additional dictionaries available at the school.  Parents of home-schooled third graders are encouraged to pick up dictionaries from the school librarian.

And don’t forget to register your newborn to five-year-old for the Rotary-sponsored Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  Application forms are available at the BV Library.
