Natalie, Decatur Elks Lodge # 655, Decatur, AL
Dear Elks, Thank you very much for the dictionaries and bookmarks! We have already used them to do our vocabulary definitions. We have been studying guide words. I will use this to look up things I don’t know. I bet the dictionary will come in handy. I appreciate that you gave me the dictionary and bookmark! Love, Natalie
