This year is the seventh year that South Fork Grange has given dictionaries to the third graders in Ritchie County.

This is our fourth year of distributing dictionaries to 3rd grade students in the Clearfield Area. It has been very well received and the kids are wonderful.

Melvin Coiner, Baldwin Park, CA
I just want to help the youngsters to learn as much as possible at a young age. If all the kids have the same chance of learning, the whole class will advance as well. The youngsters are learning to read in third grade and after the third grade, they are reading to learn. If this tool helps them on their journey, then so be... Read More
