We have been participaitng for 4 years now. We enjoy the 3rd graders’ response to the project. They are thrilled to have a book of their very own.

This is our 4th year and it’s always well received. The school puts on an assembly for all the 3rd graders (222 of them) that resembles the Jeopardy show. A panel of students are asked questions and use their dictionary to find the answers. It’s great fun!

This is our 5th year and going strong. In wonderful to have such easy access to dictionaries.

This is our second year of participating in the project. Last year students and teachers in the county were thrilled with the project, and the local newspaper did a nice cover article.

I thank you and look forward to growing this project year after year!!!
