Dictionary Project
This winter the North River Commission teamed up with the Dictionary Project and The Rotary Club of Chicago Northwest to distribute brand new dictionaries to 1163 third grade Chicago Public School students in 13 North River area schools. The value of these donated educational resources is estimated at $13,956.
These wonderful resources include helpful study guides like the American Sign Language Alphabet, a map of the Solar System, and a list of all U.S. Presidents. Thanks to the Dictionary Project, since 1992 over 12,278,184 children nationwide have received a dictionary. A very special thank you to Linda Tomkova of The Rotary Club for all her hard work coordinating this project, and to the teachers at Henry, Solomon, Waters, St. Hilary, Cleveland, Volta, Sauganash, Hibbard, Peterson, St. Edward, Haugan, Disney II, and Palmer Elementary Schools!
