One of the strengths of Valley Grange’s Dictionary Project is our determination to respect and involve all the parties by working with them. We appreciate the strong school support and enjoy how “dictionary day” has become something of a “rite of passage” in our schools.
The folks at The Dictionary Project recently invited me to share some thoughts about what makes a good program great. The result is an article entitled, “When I Was Their Age…” in the current issue of their newsletter.
Valley Grange has proudly gained a bit of a reputation for our work with the schools and kids beyond “Words for Thirds.” While the article focuses on dictionary presentations, it also reflects the balance we constantly strive to achieve in all our work. We appreciate the fact that our communities, teachers, administrators, parents, and the kids themselves help us.
