The Heritage Trails Park District is gearing up for two nighttime events where area bird watchers can learn about the chimney swift.
The club completed its 21st year of their dictionary project, a project that sees them pass dictionaries to third-grade students in order to promote learning. Books were passed out to third-grade students of Holy Rosary School and St. Mary's West Intermediate School. Members from the rotary club say that they hope the dictionaries will be a valued resource for these students in their academic careers.
St. Marys Rotary Club continued its tradition of giving students an opportunity to grow and learn. Third-graders at St. Marys West Intermediate School were given their very own dictionaries from members of Rotary Wednesday morning. Not only can students find the definition of words inside their new dictionaries, but also information about the states, presidents, the Constitution, and more. Many of those additional sections have been added into teachers' curriculums over the years. Rotary has been making the donation for nearly two decades now, choosing third grade as the perfect time to help students figure out how to find information on their own.
