A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

A major milestone

The local dictionary project met a milestone this October, 2012.
Dictionaries 5,999 & 6,000 were presented to the Grants-Cibola County School Board the night of the 16th. Sponsors to thank this year are: GSB, Wells Fargo Bank, US Bank, Diamond G, Grants Medical Center, CDEC, NMGCO, Mt. Taylor Ambulance, CH2M Hill OMI and many others over the years; this is the tenth year for our area to hold this project.
