East Jay Elementary third graders each received a dictionary from The Dictionary Project. This non-profit organization raises money to provide dictionaries to over a half million third grade students across the nation. Locally, The Portland Foundation serves as the coordinators of this project, to get dictionaries into the hands of our students. Jay Schools were the first in Indiana to participate in the program 20 years ago. Mr. Doug Inman, Executive Director of The Portland Foundation, and Mr. Jeremy Gulley, Superintendent of Jay Schools and President of the Board of Trustees of the foundation, visited East Jay today to speak to third graders and assist in distributing the books.
A big THANK YOU to all the donors and supporters of this worthwhile educational program.
