In the past year, technology has been more important than ever to keep people connected, and as younger generations keep pushing forward with advancements, Craig learners are no exception.
As part of the VEX IQ Robotics Colorado state competition, Ridgeview and Sandrock Elementary School teams showed their skills Saturday in the field, making a big impression.
Sunny White, a Rotarian, reads a book to Rebecca Kuberry s attentive second grade class.
For the last 23 years the Rotary Club of Craig has gone into the Moffat County Elementary schools and read books to second grade classes.
That all changed this year though as like many across the country and the world the Rotary Club of Craig had to adjust to a virtual program.
Rotarians, including board members Daniel Snyder and Randy Looper, have recorded themselves reading books to the kids. The videos can then be played by the teachers at their discretion.
The books chosen by the Rotarians are mostly picture books written by Cathie Gebhart, including Dan the Fish, Wade the Turtle, and Justine the Cat. These are all part of a series of books that Gebhart wrote alongside different authors and except for one case different illustrators that came out between 2015 and 2020.
