This is our sixth year. We love to see the children’s faces when they get their own dictionary.
Laura Landis, New London Grange # 2401, Nova, OH
I don’t know exactly how many years we have done this now, but it has been quite a few years. The third grade teachers always look forward to this gift. It is a huge help to the students and teachers when they are learning how to use a dictionary. It really helps that all the students are looking in the same book. The students... Read More

We have been doing this project for 5 years now, and the schools and kids are very appreciative of the dictionaries.
Elizabeth Pfaff, South Fork Grange # 520, Parkersburg, WV
This year is the seventh year that South Fork Grange has given dictionaries to the third graders in Ritchie County. It is a fun day for the Grangers to spend with the children, and I think the children have fun too. It is a very worthwhile project and one that the children will remember. Keep doing the good work.
Kathy Andresen, Sauvie Island Grange # 840, Portland, OR
We love the project. Literacy is so very important to all of our students. This gives our Grange an opportunity to give to a worthy cause so that all of the children can have the proper learning tools, not just those that can afford them.

I, personally, have had parents and grandparents come to me later at different functions and thank our Grange... Read More

I think this is about the 4th year we have done this. The 3rd graders look forward to this every year. Sometimes their older siblings or friends have had the dictionaries.
Walter Boomsma, Valley Grange # 144, Abbot, ME
We’ve been doing the project for six or seven years. We’ve expanded into three districts and LOVE the program… it’s helped us form a connection with the schools and children! Enjoy working with you and appreciate your interest in us!

Our Grange has been participating in this program for at least 5 years; it is a part of our Educational Outreach Program. I think it is a wonderful program to help with the literacy of our country.
