A gift of learning

A gift of learning

Students in Ms. Lampton’s class were among three classes of third graders at Cedaredge Elementary School who received personal copies of the colorful, informative and entertaining Scholastic Children’s Dictionary last week. Students in Mrs. Henry’s class and Ms. Schmalz’s class, and thirteen third graders at Cedaredge Vision School also received their own copies of the life learning tome. Distribution of the dictionaries to third graders has been a program of the Cedaredge Rotarians for as long as any of the members can remember, and ever since the club’s founding at least 25 years ago, one member told the DCI. The dictionary gifting is also a project undertaken by many other Rotary Clubs. Cedaredge Rotarians helping to make the book deliveries last week were Steve Wilson, Gary Fleischmann, Phil Ellsworth, Richard Udd, Jamie Meiklejohn, Kacy Stillings, and acting club president Paul Lyons and wife, Arlyn.

Helping the homeless

Helping the homeless

To raise awareness of the homeless, Delta Vision learners came up with a community service project called Night in the Box. Learners got businesses and individuals to sponsor them, with the proceeds going to Haven House. About 12 middle and high school students participated. After a hot bowl of soup, they climbed into their boxes for a chilly sleep-out.
