Dictionary Program
PSVP Joan Carlo, Dictionary Project Chair, has been going to schools to hand out dictionaries to third graders. The back 1/3 of the dictionary is filled with lots of interesting facts. The students’ excitement when they get the dictionaries is wonderful to see. Teachers are always appreciative also. There are 22 classrooms that will be visited. We are able to do this through Gratitude grant from the Grand Lodge. This is a picture of Mrs. Brennen’s third graders from Lyme Central School.
