Grange gives gift of learning
By Donna J. Domin | The Tribune-Review
When hearing the word “dictionary,” people most likely would not associate it with the National Grange. But the Grange has been thinking dictionary for the past 10 years.
Through the tireless efforts of the grange’s network of more than 300,000 volunteers, America’s oldest rural and agriculture organization has presented third-grade students across the nation with more than 100,000 dictionaries.
And, that number continues to rise.
The National Grange has dubbed this the “Words for Thirds Program – The Dictionary Project.”
Laurel Point Grange No. 915 in Parks Township has been on board with the project from the very beginning, presenting dictionaries to the third-graders at Laurel Point Elementary School in Parks, part of the Kiski Area School District.
