Dictionary? Hermansen 3rd-Graders Taught to Look it Up

In an age where it is common for many to Google anything and everything, Romeoville Rotary Club members are working to insure students learn how to use an old-fashioned dictionary.

In the old days, when you didn't know how to spell a word or didn't know the meaning of a word, you looked up that word in the dictionary.

Well, what's old is new again at Hermansen Elementary School in Romeoville.

Romeoville Rotary Club member John Dalby worked with third-graders on the art of looking up words in dictionaries during a visit to the school this week.

All third-graders in Romeoville were presented dictionaries as the Romeoville Rotary Club took its "knowledge is power" platform to local classrooms, according to a news release from the Valley View School District.
