Ripon Rotary Club members handed out dictionaries to all Ripon Unified School District third graders.Third grade recipients included Colony Oak Park View, Ripon Elementary, Ripona, and Weston students that club members personally handed the dictionaries Wednesday morning. They told the students they were better for looking up words than on a tablet or computer – no need to carry the heavy electronics with them or having to charge the books or replace batteries. Also they wouldn’t be delayed by ads that might pop up.The children appeared ecstatic as they walked to the front of their classroom where they were handed the new books.
