I’m a 3rd grade teacher in Burnet, Texas. The Republican Women’s Group brought our 3rd graders dictionaries several months ago. I have to tell you how wonderful they are. I have a class set of some 12-year-old dictionaries, but yours are so much better! The information is incredible and the kids absolutely love them. I make up a project for us to do each... Read More

Thank you so much for the dictionaries for the students in my classroom. I teach 3rd grade at Berrendo Elementary in Roswell, NM. We have received the dictionaries for students for several years.

The project really sets kids on fire. Before, we had a few dictionaries students could share, but they were old and worn out. Having their own dictionaries empowers them to look up new words on their own, rather than wait for me or just skip it.

  Dear Members of the Lions Club, I want to take this moment to thank you for coming to my classroom. We really enjoyed your information about your service to our community. Thank you for funding the dictionary project. We will certainly use ours on a regular basis. God bless your efforts. Sincerely, Mrs. Anderson  

Dear Friends, I would like to tell you how much the children enjoyed and used their dictionaries this year! They truly enjoyed them and were amazed when they were able to take them home with them at the end of the school year. I think the children used them more for all of the wonderful information included in the back of the books more... Read More
