Also, the Pearl River Elks gave every third grader a dictionary this year.
“That was very nice and we’re very appreciative,” said Auriemma. “It’s a program they run nationwide. Our teachers are encouraging students to take them home but bring them back so it really becomes a tool. They’re dictionaries that are more age appropriate for the students and the teachers are just as excited as the students.”
