Cedaredge, Colorado — September 23, 2026

Third-grade students at Cedaredge Elementary School recently received a special gift from the Rotary Club of Cedaredge: their own dictionaries.

Eight Rotary members visited the school as part of the club's annual dictionary project, a community tradition that encourages reading, vocabulary development, and a love of learning.

"We are always excited to share these dictionaries with the students," said Mark Condon, president of the Rotary Club of Cedaredge. "We hope these dictionaries encourage them to keep learning, discovering new words and enjoying the world of reading."

Cedaredge Elementary Principal Holly Rupp thanked Rotary for providing a dictionary to every third-grade student.

"They will use them all year long to help develop their vocabulary, reading, and knowledge skills!"

The annual project reflects the Rotary Club of Cedaredge's commitment to supporting local students, education, and the community. For the third graders, their new dictionaries will be a useful classroom resource throughout the school year—and a reminder that their community supports their education.
