SAN ANTONIO - Local elementary school students got the
tools they need to read today.
Third graders at Hutchins Elementary School with the
San Antonio School District received a free dictionary.
They were donated by the nonprofit groups - Ekasila Foundation USA and the Texas Indo-American Physicians Society.
School officials said while many families are turning to digital platforms, such as iPads and computers to teach their children, the dictionaries are vital for those who can't make the digital move.
Last year, six schools in the district received free dictionaries. This year, dictionaries will be given to more than 850 SAISD students from 10 elementary schools.
