During the week of Oct 14, Vero Beach Elks delivered a total of 980 dictionaries to third grade students and teachers at Beachland Elementary, Citrus Elementary, Dodgertown Elementary, Glendale Elementary, Imagine Schools at South Vero, Indian River Academy, North County Charter School, Osceola Magnet, Rosewood Magnet, Vero Beach Elementary and St. Helen's Catholic School. This was the eighth year providing dictionaries to local schools. The dictionaries are well received by the teachers and students and are used daily in the classrooms. PDD Paul Diaz chaired this project and volunteers labeled and delivered the dictionaries.
