As part of the Certified Literate Community Project, dictionaries were handed out to third grade students at Cross Creek Elementary School.

Since 2006, Joe McKay and his "Crazy About Words" class in the Lifetime Learning Program at Peconic Landing in Greenport, NY, have been supporters of the Dictionary Project.

Third graders at 10 Harnett County primary and elementary schools recently received new paperback dictionaries, which were donated by David and Anne Hobson of Pinehurst, formerly of Dunn.

Allison Gant is nearing the end of a long but enjoyable task: delivering 2,000 dictionaries to third-grade students in Alamance County.
