For the 18th year, Knights of Columbus Council 7847 provided new dictionaries to the Third Grade class of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Hopkinsville. George (Jerry) Brockman initiated this program in 2004 and has continued to lead the presentation of the dictionaries each year. Jerry encouraged the students to use the dictionary every time they encounter a new word while reading and to make that new word a part of their vocabulary. He then held a short contest to see which student could be first to find a special word. The first student to find the word was asked to read the definition to the class. That student received a “prize.” Council 7847 also presented a new dictionary to the teacher, Ms. Fentress. Submitted by: Richard Hornbeak, GK
