SPRINGFIELD ELKS PRESENT DICITONARIES TO UNION STREET THIRD GRADERS

  Annually, the Springfield Elks Lodge #1560 donates dictionaries to all third graders at Union Street School.  This year they gave out 89 dictionaries to the students to keep for their own use, at school or at home.  The Elk’s Lodges across this country have been doing this for several years.  For the past ten years Springfield Elks Lodge has given out more than 1200 dictionaries to third grade students in the Springfield School system.   The graduates of the Class 2015 were the first recipients of the Springfield Elks annual donation of dictionaries.
