BRIDGTON — Rotarians Elizabeth Gemme and Erin Nelson delivered 130 dictionaries to Crooked River Elementary School in Casco, and Stevens Brook Elementary School and Dodge School on Nov. 22.
The club has delivered more than 2,600 dictionaries to local third-graders over the past 10 years.
“We have been reminded by high school students that their dictionary from the third grade remains in an honored place on their desk even today,” Nelson said. “The Dictionary Project is one of the club’s most important literacy efforts. We Rotarians love this service project.”
Club President Jessica Putnam said, “A big thank-you to Erin Nelson for taking the lead on this important club project for the past five years. It is especially important that corporate member Norway Savings Bank is continuing that lead with Rotarian Elizabeth Gemme participating again this year.”
Each year Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club has a few remaining dictionaries. In the past, the club has made them available to home schoolers, libraries and food pantries. For more information, contact LakeRegionRotary@gmail.com.
