Celebrating Our Impact on Students at Dresden Elementary

As most of you know, for many years the Rotary Club of Dunwoody has supported literacy among the students at Dresden Elementary - with a new book every year for every student during the holidays. We have partnered with the school’s Librarian/Media Specialist to select those books. This past year, our partnership took a new direction - with suppport for Dresden’s electronic book library - called SORA.

Electronic books have changed school libraries and public libraries too. When Amazon introduced the Kindle, readers were able to carry their entire book collections wherever they went. Students can still check out hard copy books from the Dresden library, but they can use SORA too.  At Dresden, more than 80% of the students are learning English and I’ve in homes where only Spanish is spoken. The students can read and listen to digital boos at home on famiy’s phones/iPads to help improve their English.

You can watch more of Dresden’s story in a video produced by Lisa Flanagan, Teacher-Librarian, at https://youtu.be/1lfOZrYJNko.
