The Americanism Committee organized a donation of 55 dictionaries to third grade students at Columbine Hills Elementary School.
Americanism Chair Kim Garcia and committee members Teri Shelgren and Christine Suess made the delivery, along with the help of Principal Christa Wilson.
“The teachers were extremely appreciative and the students were incredibly excited,” Kim Garcia said. “One teacher stated her class had already decided they would come up with one word per week for all students to look up and discuss.”
The third grade students were shown how to use the dictionary and where to put their names.
The dictionaries also included weights and measures, metric conversions, Roman Numerals, words for large numbers, American Sign Language, Braille, a Periodic Table of Elements, multiplication tables, a prefix table, and a map of the United States of America.
