Third Grade Tradition

It has become a tradition at Northwood School for the third graders to receive a personal dictionary from the Chichester Grange. The “Dictionary Project” began in the 1990s in Georgia when a woman decided to give local children a dictionary to help with school. This later grew into wanting to put a dictionary into the hands of every third grader. With the help of generous donations this is able to happen. We at Northwood School are very lucky to have the Chichester Grange organize this event and extend a very big thank you to give to Mr. John from The Circle Restaurant in Epsom. Mr. John is our sponsor and donates the dictionaries to our classrooms. The students loved exploring their dictionaries finding things beyond words and meanings that included the longest word in the English Language, American Sign Language, information on the states, presidents and more!

A big thank you shout out to the Chichester Grange and Mr. John!
