The Potomac Grange #1 visited Holy Cross Elementary School to distribute dictionaries to its third-grade students.

Potomac Grange President, Mark Gibbons, spoke briefly about Potomac Grange #1 before explaining how these dictionaries would help them increase their vocabulary, learn the spelling and meaning of so many words.

The children were extremely excited to receive their dictionaries and plan to use them at school and at home.

They were especially excited that the dictionaries also included information about:

• the environment
• land and water conditions in the countries of the world
• animals that live in nine habitats on the seven continents
• the earth and its atmosphere
• the longest word in the English language
• sign language (alphabets)
• braille for beginners and more.

Potomac Grange #1 plans to donate additional dictionaries to Holy Cross if needed or another elementary school in the area.
