Lions present dictionaries to third graders
On Nov. 8, 144 copies of “A Student’s Dictionary” were distributed by members of the Lions Clubs of Brownton, Glencoe, New Auburn, Plato, and Silver Lake to the third-grade students and third-grade teachers of Glencoe-Silver Lake Lakeside School, First Lutheran School, and to home-schooled third graders in the GSL district. 2017 marks the 13th year that third-grade students in the GSL School District have received these dictionaries free of charge, with well over 2,250 distributed thus far.
Each third-grade student was presented with “A Student’s Dictionary,” which is the student’s personal property and can be kept by the student for use in third, fourth and fifth grades and beyond. This dictionary was approved by the schools’ administrators, and is planned to be used in the third-grade classrooms throughout this school year.
