The Loveland Rotary Club moved from giving traditional dictionaries to tablets to help elementary school students grow their reading skills. Over the past two years, club members worked with businesses, foundations, churches and the schools themselves to raise $268,103, which supplied 796 Chromebooks, 137 iPad minis and 46 charging carts. Now, elementary schools within Thompson School District have one tablet per two students in every first, second and third grade class. The Loveland Rotary Club also bought 850 sets of headphones for student use and set aside money for teacher training.
