SOUTH PARIS — At a recent Oxford Hills Rotary Club meeting, members attached labels to 240 dictionaries that were then distributed and presented to all third graders in School Administrative District 17.
Each dictionary, which has a label in the front for the students to fill in their name, is presented to them in honor of Mary Lou Burns, an educator/administrator of the district for many years, who was instrumental in starting the project, according to a news release from the rotary.
Since the Rotary started this project in 2004, they have given out over 5,500 dictionaries.
