Meridith Putzler, Delta Kappa Gamma – Xi Chapter, Hillsboro, OR

Delta Kappa Gamma Xi Chapter has been donating dictionaries for 200+ 3rd graders for many years, at 3 elementary schools. We present the dictionaries to the students, telling them that these are their own personal dictionaries to use at school this year and every year from now on. We also do a scavenger hunt word activity using their new dictionary to help them become familiar with their new books. It is a great project! It gives students power, confidence, and knowledge, which helps them in all their work. They love them!!!!
