We have been participating since 2004. We love to see the children’s faces when they receive the dictionary. For some it is the only book that they personally own. Many cannot believe that someone they don’t know would give them a book. We enjoy reading the thank you notes.

Thank you for The Dictionary Project – putting smiles on some kids’ faces is simply a darned good thing!

We have been doing the project for the last ten years and love to see the faces when they receive their dictionary to keep for their own. We have the the higher grades still using them when we go back to visit the schools.

We’ve been participating for at least eight years. As a result of the success we are now very involved with our local district’s kids. We love this simple elegance of it.

We have been giving books to students for what will be 8 years. Both students and teachers are very pleased each year with the books.

Teachers look forward to us coming, as well as the kids. Great project.

South Fork Grange has a service project called “Words for Thirds,” and this is our 8th year giving dictionaries to every third grader in Ritchie County, West Virginia.

We have been participating in this project for several years, and everyone enjoys going to the schools to hand out the dictionaries and meet the students. We think this is a great program and will continue it as long as we are able.

Our third graders are always very excited about having their own dictionary and being able to use them for their school work.

Each year the students who receive these books are delighted. This project is a great project and gets students interested in words!
