Thursday, December 18th third-grade students got a special visit from Zion’s Bank. Ed Christensen, Manager of the Spanish Fork branch, and Jenny Castillo, manager of the Payson branch came to donate dictionaries to all the students, as a partnership with the Spanish Fork Rotary Club. They talked about how important education is, and did a couple of find the word races. Later in the year third-grade will have a spelling bee as part of receiving the dictionaries.
