The people who participate really enjoy this project and look forward to it every year.

I think this is our 5th year to donate a dictionary to every third grade student in our district. It is a wonderful program, and the teachers love it.

We have been doing this for years and it’s been a big hit with the schools..the children look forward to it every year…especially those whose older siblings have already received one… It’s the best project for the dollar we can do.

We have been running a dictionary project for a number of years; it is a well established tradition and welcomed by many citizens in our area. I think the project is outstanding–well operated and effective.
