This is a fantastic program and the third graders and teachers are so appreciative. We really enjoy speaking to the children and presenting them with their own dictionaries. We laugh, tell stories, and take pictures.

Blase Mercoglan, Rotary Club of Niskayuna, Schenectady, NY
The students love them! They are all excited and cannot thank us enough. These are inner city schools, mostly African American, and they are so appreciative.
