The Dictionary Lady, a.k.a. Mrs. Mary Sherwood, visited Mrs. Guercio’s third grade class and delivered her annual gift of a wonderful dictionary to each student. Mrs. Sherwood has been coming to Bracken each year since 2006 and has given out nearly 170 dictionaries to our students. What a blessing she is to our school!

By putting a dictionary in the hands of each third-grade student at Walker, the Cy-Fair Republican Women’s Club has provided an invaluable resource to support each child’s mastery of reading and writing.
