Letters from Schools

Dear Ms. French: Thank you so very much for the 200 dictionaries you helped to provide for our school. We have 196 third-grade students this year who will greatly benefit from The Dictionary Project. We are a rural elementary school in south Arkansas. Many of our students come from families of low income, and books, especially dictionaries, are not a priority for them. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will be remembered by these children for a long time. There is no greater gift for a child to receive than a book that will last a lifetime. LaNita Talley, Principal

Dear Mary French, Thank you for the dictionaries you sent our 3rd grade students. It was nice of you to think of us. We will use them to look up words and help us with our homework. Thanks again, Abinoojiiyag 3rd graders, Lehtitia Weiss, teacher

Dear Friends, Thank you so much for the donation of dictionaries to our school. We were able to distribute them before our winter break and they are being used regularly by our students. We appreciate your generosity! Very truly yours, Paul J. Esposito Principal

Dear Members of the Dictionary Project Committee, On behalf of the third graders at the Wollaston School, thank you for your recent dictionary donation. Each day, we strive to give our students the skills necessary to become successful and contributing members of society. A dictionary is an essential resource for all students. It is also an important tool to obtaining academic success. Our third grade students were absolutely thrilled when we delivered the dictionaries to their classrooms. They were so excited to be able to write their names in the dictionaries. Their teachers were equally excited to know that this resource would be available in all of their students' homes. Thank you for your generosity. Please know that it is greatly appreciated by the Wollaston community. Sincerely, James Hennessy Principal

Dear NLR Women's Club, On behalf of our 3rd-grade students and teachers, I want to thank you for the generous gift of dictionaries. What a wonderful service you provide our eager learners!

Thanks again for coming to Park Hill each year and giving of your time. Sincerely, Barbara Hartwick, Principal
