"Words for Thirds" Dictionaries 2005
A new service project in 2005 was the presentation of dictionaries to third grade students as part of the Perry County Grange participation in “Words for Thirds”. This nationwide Grange initiative is in cooperation with The Dictionary Project, a non-profit organization that strives to provide an individual dictionary to every school student as a way of encouraging the development of good reading habits and verbal comprehension skills early in life. The response of students and teachers was very enthusiastic in both Greenwood and Newport Elementary Schools.
