We believe that letting each student have his or her own dictionary is a great way to help them in their school work. We earn the money to buy the dictionaries by operating a food booth at the Helotes Corn-Y-Val each spring. Our Grangers, non-members, members of the Herman Sons Pershing Lodge, and some school personnel all pitch in to help. We even had... Read More

We provide dictionaries to the Beech Hill School in Otis, Maine; this is a small rural school and the usual count of 3rd graders is 13-14 students. These children are so very appreciative of these dictionaries, and are always anxious to reach that grade because of this opportunity. We do this project in the name of Mariaville Grange #441 and this is the 5th... Read More

This is our third year and it seems to go over well with the teachers and students.

We are in our 5th year of this project. The students and the teachers love these books. Thank you for such a good product.

Ashaway Grange # 50 has been participating in this program for seven years. We distribute books personally to all four schools in the Chariho Regional School District. It is most gratifying to see the looks and smiles on the faces of the children when we hand them a dictionary. It is the best program ever.

Sadly Granges have been closing and in the ensuing years our Wilson Grange hopes to raise enough money to send dictionaries to local schools that do not have area Granges. Thank you for this incredible opportunity to make a difference.

This will be the 8th year we will be giving 3rd graders dictionaries in the Algonquin School Regional 16 schools. The principal of the Algonquin School is really thrilled with this project and the students feel special and the second graders look forward to getting their very own dictionary when they are in the 3rd grade. This project is well worth doing. The thank... Read More

Beacon Light Grange has participated for over 6 years. We still hear from high schoolers and parents that they still have their dictionaries. This project has helped keep the Grange in the public eye.

We donate to the entire school district which encompasses three towns, Charlestown, Richmond and Hopkinton. There are four schools in the district: two in Hopkinton and one each in Richmond and Charlestown. We always present the books to the children at a special program for each of the four schools we serve. We have been participating in this program for four years. Each year... Read More

We’ve been doing this for 4 years. This is such a great project, and the kids really love it! Custer Center Grange # 100 has been helping for several years.
