Donor: Maple Grove Grange #154
 

Ninety third-grade students at Kullerstrand, Prospect Valley, and Pleasant View Elementary Schools have received dictionaries from Maple Grove Grange #154.  The students can take their books home to use and also bring them to school for work there.

The dictionary project `Words for Thirds` is a nationwide program.  We are proud that we are a part of this program.  The program encourages literacy in schools.

Last year we were able to buy a set of Braille dictionaries for a student at Pleasant View Elementary School.  The student was very proud of his dictionary.

This year we are once again delivering dictionaries to ninety students at Kullerstrand, Pleasant View, and Pennington Elementary Schools.

Maple Grove Grange is an organization which has been active in the Wheat Ridge community since 1907.
