Sterling Rotarians and Sterling Elks work together on our dictionary project, placing a dictionary in the hands of every 3rd grader in the county. We were thinking maybe kids no longer used dictionaries because of technology, but teachers told us dictionaries provide students with a much needed break from technology, and teach a valuable skill. Tangible books still have their place, thankfully. Pictured here are Patty, Francie, Leroy, and me.
