We have been participating for 5 years. It is important for our Club to continue this project for our 3rd graders. Literacy is so important and 3rd grade is a crucial time for our kids.

Doug Schmeltz, Cedar Lake Lions Club, Cedar Lake, IN
Our third year in providing dictionaries to the third graders in our town. You would think it was Christmas morning when we tell them the book is theirs to keep. This is a great project, with immediate, and long term rewards for all.
